December 2022 Introduction
High-lift devices are something you can run across while looking at aeronautical components. All aircraft need lift. The force that works against gravity is known as lift. It maintains aircraft in the air while they are flying. While an airplane's wings provide the majority of the lift, other high-lift technologies may also contribute to lift production.
High-lift devices are parts for aircraft that are intended to improve or increase the lift produced by the wings. Wings inherently provide lift. Air flows more slowly over the bottom and top because of its form. Lift is produced as a result of the pressure difference that this variation in airflow produces. However, a lot of aircraft also have high-lift mechanisms on their wings. Devices with high lift increase lift. As a result, the wings can produce more lift.
The type of flaps that will be used in this modification is the slotted flaps because of its efficiency, it increases the aircraft’s wing camber. This flap produces a small opening between the wing and the flap, allowing high pressure from beneath the wing to rush upwards towards the upper part of the wing, generating additional lift, thus reducing the stalling speed.
Powered slats will also be utilized, this slat is powered by hydraulics or electricity, it is more reliable in comparison to the fixed and automatic slats.
Objective
● To use the selected airfoil and corrected airfoil characteristics as the wing profile for the modified Beechcraft Bonanza ● To determine the ideal width of chord and wingspan of the aircraft ● To maintain the gross weight of the aircraft Modified Beechcraft Bonanza CAD Model

The Beechcraft Bonanza wing and fuselage are of conventional semi-monocoque
construction. It has fully cantilevered wings and empennage. Most of the structures are
fabricated of high strength aluminum alloy. Steel and other materials are used as needed. The
robustness of the design philosophy has been validated over thousands of hours of operation of
airplanes in the fleet. Continuing structural integrity is ensured through an inspection program
and appropriate maintenance action. The aircraft structure is divided into three major components, the fuselage, wing and empennage. The fuselage was fabricated of high strength
aluminum alloy with an appropriate use of steel and other materials.
Computation
The values of CLmax were determined based on the Reynolds number used which is
shown in the given table below.
REYNOLDS NUMBER CLmax
@ Re= 50,000 0.7191
@ Re= 100,000 1.4119
@ Re= 200,000 1.3824
@ Re= 500,000 1.4697
@ Re= 1,000,000 1.5418

The following table has the list of values for the stall velocity for the chosen airfoil. The
5th (CL5) has the lowest and will be selected.
VS (ft/s) (m/s)
CL1 138.78 42.30
CL2 99.05 30.19
CL3 100.09 30.51
CL4 97.08 29.59
CL5 94.78 28.89
Table 2: Stall Velocity Values Airfoil
The airfoil created was
tested in the windtunnel at the Aero
Lab. The created airfoil was tested
twice. It was tested in different
angles which was guided using a
protractor to find the angles. First
with yarn and the second with paper. The first was unsuccessful as the airflow from the wind
tunnel was weak and did not let the yarn flow. The second test was using strips of paper as a
substitute for the yarn where the paper can be seen moving and working.
Wing Rib
During the wing rib test, it weighed at around
600 grams when initially checked for the weight.
Afterwards, the wing rib was tested on the wing rib
tester at the Aero Lab where it ended up withstanding
up to 38 kg before starting to break apart. The main
cause of the early breaking was due to the quality of the
wood that was acquired as it was not sturdy enough to withstand the weight. It was tested a
second time but was only able to reach around 27 kg due to the same problem. References
