Oil Film Interferometry
Oil-Film Interferometry
We are improving the aerodynamics of Kodiak Aircraft. Higher drag forces on the horizontal stabilizer have been noted due to patterned roughness from universal head rivets on the airfoil surface. We will quantify the impact of the rivet heads on performance and decide if the airfoils should have flush-mounted rivets for future aircraft design.
