The present paper describes the results of an experimental wind tunnel test campaign aimed at investigating and characterizing the complicated aerodynamic flow patterns around a wing section equipped with propellers mounted on a boom. The investigated configuration is meant to be representative of a full-scale eVTOL aircraft in cruise flight condition. The Infrared Thermography technique enabled a quantitative evaluation of the amount of laminar flow for the baseline airfoil section and also for the wing airfoil under the influence of the propeller at different thrust conditions.

Abstract
The present paper describes the results of an experimental wind tunnel test campaign aimed at investigating and characterizing the complicated aerodynamic flow patterns around a wing section equipped with propellers mounted on a boom. The investigated configuration is meant to be representative of a full-scale eVTOL aircraft in cruise flight condition. The Infrared Thermography technique enabled a quantitative evaluation of the amount of laminar flow for the baseline airfoil section and also for the wing airfoil under the influence of the propeller at different thrust conditions.File in questo prodotto:
