A skin design method of variable camber wing trailing edge

Abstract

As an important part of the wing, the skin deformation accuracy directly affect the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft in different environments. Based on the idea of easy processing and easy deformation, a method for designing variable section thickness skin for trailing edge of variable camber wings is proposed. In this paper, firstly, the thickness and length of each segment of 3~8 segments of trailing edge skin are optimized. Then the deformation results of different segments of skin are compared and analyzed. Finally, the correctness of the design results and the effectiveness of the method are verified by using stacked skin experiment.
