Abstract

This project aims to investigate the design of air foils and determine the flow parameters, as well as the
lift and drag forces acting on various air foils such as NACA-0012, 495 and 540, under different
viscosity conditions. Air foils are a critical component of aircraft, including passenger planes, jet
planes, and helicopters. They play a significant role in determining whether the lift force is sufficient
to support the weight of the aircraft and the amount of drag force applied to the aircraft. This project
employs three different profile shapes of air foil, including symmetric and asymmetrical designs, to
analyse their lift and drag coefficients and their impact on the airfoil's performance.
