3 Types of Wing Design in CATIA V5

In this video, you will learn 3 types of Wing design you can make in CATIA V5.

Most commonly used commands here in this video are Padding & Multi section solid from Part design module and also some commands from Generative Shape Design module.

The NACA database(download airfoil co-ordinates from here) - www.airfoiltools.com

0:00 - Intro

00:36 - Thick wing
Thick wing is designed by keeping in mind when the requirement of wing is thick and a rough airfoil shape is acceptable. It is then simply extruded and given various supports.

04:58 - Thin wing
Thin wings generally can be noticed on RC airplanes and helicopter rotor blades. Here, they are designed by importing the airfoil cross section from airfoil database of NACA. The CSV file of these co-ordinates is then imported through Macros from MS-Excel.

10:48 - Swept wing with winglet
The most complex, modern, efficient and widely used wing is the Swept wing. Here again 3 airfoil profiles are imported on different planes and shape is generated by multi-section solid command.
