Investigating the impact of velocity fluctuations and compressibility to aerodynamic efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft

Steady airflow over the wing of an aircraft in-flight is critical to achieving maximum aerodynamic performance. However, commercial flight routes are most times characterized by fluctuations in the airflow properties. The unsteadiness in the air velocity vectors and mass flow directly affects the ae...
