 ABSTRACT

The primary aim of the project is “DESIGN AND AERODYNAMICAL

ANAYSIS OF ELLIPTICAL WINGET”. This done by the help of ANSYS
FLUENT software. The aerodynamics parameters are analyzed for different
CANT angle of elliptical winglet and conclude which is better aero dynamical
performance. The parameters are drag & lift over winglet, L/D ratio, and flow
separation and so on. The dimension of elliptical winglet was taken by comparing
all existing one. The dimensions results the betterment of elliptical winglet. In
this report the necessary graphs have to be plotted for further performance
calculation. Required diagrams are also drawn.
