Abstract

This study investigates the aerodynamic efficiency of two wing designs: a 
conventional solid wing and a slotted wing with a longitudinal gap. Computational 
simulations were conducted using ANSYS Fluent to evaluate and compare the 
aerodynamic performance of both configurations. The slotted wing design is 
hypothesized to enhance airflow dynamics, potentially reducing drag and increasing 
lift. The results of the simulation are analyzed based on key performance parameters 
such as lift-to-drag ratio, pressure distribution, and airflow patterns. The findings aim 
to provide insights into the benefits and limitations of the slotted wing design for 
improving aerodynamic efficiency in various applications.
