To obtain this result the Authors used the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software SolidWorks Flow Simulation. In particular, the C -α and C -α curves have been interpolated from the points L D obtained from the simulations for different configurations of the V173 aircraft CAD model. In a first phase the aerodynamics of the aircraft was evaluated clean without the presence of the propellers was analysed. In a second phase, the influence of the two large propellers was taken int
