Abstract - A MATLAB GUI-Based Approach to Wing Design and Aerodynamic Performance Evaluation
This study presents a MATLAB based application developed for the design and aerodynamic analysis of varying wing geometries using the NACA 4 and 5-digit series airfoils. It presents an innovative framework that enables the efficient generation of intricate wing surfaces, doing away with cumbersome and skill-intensive wing design using CAD soft- ware. Further, the framework can generate complex geometrical features such as twist, taper, and sweep. With meticulous attention to the user perspective and user-friendliness, special emphasis has been given to the position, color, and usability of elements within the inter- face. It integrates the horizontal wind model (HWM) routine developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. This reinforces its practical application by computing the wind speed using location and time-specific data. The XFOIL solver integrated into the framework uses this initial wind speed data to conduct an initial aerodynamic analysis using the vortex panel method.
