“…Subsequently, a meticulous Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is generated, serving as the blueprint for ensuing simulations. These simulations, conducted using advanced simulation software integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), provide a virtual arena for scrutinizing the intricacies of the designed system [4]. Following simulation execution, the outcomes are seamlessly imported from the CAD platform, facilitating a seamless transition from design to analysis.…”

Slotted flaps are one of the most common types of flaps used in aerospace engineering providing significant benefits to aircraft performance during flight phases, by increasing wing area and improving lift force during takeoff and landing. This research paper describes a methodical approach to studying the aerodynamic and structural behavior of a slotted flap mechanism using computer simulations. The process begins with a thorough review of existing literature and the development of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Simulations are then conducted using advanced software that combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The results from the simulations are seamlessly imported from CAD platform for further analysis. The paper explores four variations of the flight phase. Each with different configurations and velocities and examines their effects on lift distribution and stress tension. The integration of the flap design into the simulation platform allows for precise analysis, including material analysis and load location insights. The central finding of the variations reveals maximum stress results ranging from 135 to 435 Megapascals (MPA), providing valuable insights for optimizing the design in both aerodynamic and structural aspects.

“…In recent times, flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) which are a subset of micro air vehicles have attracted great attention [1][2][3][4][5]. Compared to fixed-wing and rotary-wing micro air vehicles, FWMAVs are preferred since they offer great numbers of functionalities such as suitability for in-door applications, high maneuver capability, low acoustic characteristics.…”
