This is the Northrop Grumman final report for the Advanced High-Lift Leading-Edge Technologies for Laminar Wings conceptual design and demonstration program performed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center. Northrop Grumman conducted conceptual aerodynamic CFD and QFD analysis to downselect two leading-edge concepts for high lift. The effort included aerodynamic analysis to examine instrumentation placement and propulsion analysis to design internal cavity geometry of the high-pressure blown slot configurations. A wind tunnel model design created a 7-foot span model of the complex configuration. A wind tunnel test plan, which included baseline, deflected trailing-edge, blown deflected trailing-edge, blown leading-edge, morphed leading-edge, and blown/morphed leading-edge airfoil configurations was developed. As a result of this program approach, a successful demonstration of high-lift leading-edge technology was reached, and the target goals for improved lift were exceeded by 30% with a maximum section lift coefficient (Cl) of 5.2. Incremental lift coefficient (DCl) of 3.5 and 3.1 was achieved on the two laminar compatible airfoil configurations (at cruise). Our high-lift design yielded a massive 94% lift improvement over conventional high-lift Krueger flap configurations while providing laminar flow capability on the cruise configuration.
