Abstract

The aerodynamic performances of a non-slender 50° delta wing with various leading-edge bevels were measured in a low speed wind tunnel. It is found that the delta wing with leading-edge bevelled leeward can improve the maximum lift coefficient and maximum lift to drag ratio, and the stall angle of the wing is also delayed. In comparison with the blunt leading-edge wing, the increment of maximum lift to drag ratio is 200%, 98% and 100% for the wings with relative thickness tic = 2%, t/c = 6.7% and t/c = 10%, respectively.
