Adam Kline-Schoder<\/strong><\/p>\n Improving the Aerodynamics of Wingsuits Through Vent Modification<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Adam looked into the, in terms of wingsuit aerodynamics, potentially problematic\u00a0inlet design and their properties. The vents are extremely effective, but once the suit is inflated they create large amounts of excess drag. This project aimed to improve wingsuit performance by designing and manufacturing a modification that could be easily and safely be built at a fraction of the cost of a new wingsuit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ted Vickery<\/strong><\/p>\n Analysis of\u00a0Wingsuit Flight Mechanics Using Computational Fluid Dynamics<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Ted looked into\u00a0the flight mechanics, and in particular the longitudinal static stability, of two inflated wingsuits using CFD. Optimisation of some geometrical aspects were undertaken to improve the suits’ stability. Reinforcement, by the means of wind tunnel tests, of potential stability improvement in differing areas of the flight envelope was seen as an area of further research.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dilaksan Thillaithevan<\/strong><\/p>\n Wingsuit Free Fly Rig Design Report<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Dilaksan designed a test rig for wingsuit analysis in the wind tunnel. Trialling the new suit in the wind tunnel in a \u2018safe\u2019 environment presents significant risk mitigation prior to a real flight test. The rig will allow safety concerns such as suit stability and flight characteristics to be observed, as well as allowing the in-flight aerodynamic performance characteristics of the suit to be measured.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Rob Markwell<\/strong><\/p>\n Investigation of the Aerodynamic Performance of a Wingsuit using Computational Fluid Dynamics<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jen Crunden<\/strong><\/p>\n The Experimental and Computational Investigation of Wingsuit Performance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remko Wim Moeys <\/strong><\/p>\n Investigation of the Aerodynamic Performance of a Wingsuit using Computational Fluid Dynamics<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Third year projects and MSc projects… Adam Kline-Schoder Improving the Aerodynamics of Wingsuits Through Vent Modification Adam looked into the, in terms of wingsuit aerodynamics, potentially problematic\u00a0inlet design and their properties.
