Dimple effects on airfoil

Inspiration

Aircraft

What it does

Improves the fuel efficiency of aircraft by improving aerodynamic efficiency.

How we built it

Made a model in Fusion360, 3D printed it and tested it in a Scratch model

Challenges we ran into

Original wind tunnel simulator required an RTX 3090 to run and the second wind tunnel costs $25000

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully 3D printed the airfoil and tested it to prove its efficacy

What we learned

Always 3D print a wing vertically

What's next for Dimple effects on airfoil
