Sabit Hücum Açısı ile Yapılan Wingsuit Atlayışlarının Aerodinamik Hesaplamalarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bilgisayar destekli tasarım, analiz ve üretim sistemlerinin gelişimi ile sportif havacılık disiplinleri ilerlemiştir. Sportif havacılık disiplinleri içerisinde yamaç paraşütleri, yelken kanatlar ve planörler en bilinen ve tercih edilebilen sportif havacılık branşlarıdır. Buna rağmen son on yılda yarasa adam uçuşu olarak bilinen wingsuit uçuşları da oldukça popüler bir konuma gelmiştir. İnsanlar için kuş gibi uçuşun en doğal hali olarak tanımlanan wingsuit uçuşları, deneyimli serbest paraşütçüler tarafından yapılmaktadır. Wingsuit’ler insan bedenine aerodinamik bir şekil vermek için tasarlanmış uçuş tulumlarıdır. Kontrol edilmesi, uzun bir serbest düşüş deneyimine sahip paraşütçüler tarafından rahatlıkla yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada wingsuit’ler hakkında genel tanımlamalar ve wingsuit BASE (Building Antenna Span Earth) atlayışları açıklanmıştır. Ayrıca wingsuit’lerin sabit bir hücum açısı ile yapılan atlayışta aerodinamik özellikleri bilimsel eşitliklerden yararlanarak açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bu spor ile ilgilenen insanlar için faydalı olacağı ve bu alanda bilimsel çalışma yapmak isteyen bilim insanlarına ve çalışmalarına ışık tutacağı düşünülmüştür.

Investigation of Aerodynamic Calculations of Wingsuit Jumps with Fixed Angle of Attack

Abstract

Sports aviation disciplines have advanced with the development of computer aided design, analysis and production systems. Among the sportive aviation disciplines, paragliding, sail wings and gliders are the most known and preferred sports aviation branches. However, wingsuit flights, known as bat-man flight, have become quite popular in the last decade. Wingsuit flights, which are defined as the most natural form of flight like a bird for humans, are carried out by experienced free paratroopers. Wingsuits are flight suits designed to give an aerodynamic shape to the human body. Controlling is easily done by paratroopers with a long experience of free fall. In this study, general definitions about wingsuits and wingsuit BASE (Building Antenna Span Earth) jumps are explained. In addition, the aerodynamic properties of wingsuits in the jump made with a fixed angle of attack are explained by using scientific equations. It is thought that this study will be beneficial for people who are interested in this sport and will shed light on scientists who want to do scientific work in this field and their studies.
