Aero-Train是东北大学流体科学研究所Kohama实验室正在开发的一种利用空气动力学技术的新驾驶概念。它利用地面机翼效应，使其能够在陆地上高速飞行。航空列车利用机翼和U型导轨之间的升力和侧向力的地面效应来实现稳定性。主翼的顶端有垂直的机翼，这些垂直的机翼被串联布置，以调节U形导轨中的侧滚和偏航稳定性。然而，垂直机翼通过与主翼的气动相互作用恶化了航空列车的升阻比。本研究旨在通过控制机翼与机翼的相互作用来改善航空列车的气动性能。在机翼上安装单槽襟翼，大大改善了机翼的气动性能。
Aero-train is a new driving concept using aerodynamic technology under development by the Kohama Laboratory, Institute of Fluid Science, Tohoku University. It employs the wing-in-ground effect to enable travel at high speeds over land. Aero-train makes use of the ground effects of lift and side force between the wings and a U-shaped guideway for stability. The main wings have vertical wings at the tips, which are arranged in tandem to regulate the roll and yaw stability in the U-shaped guideway. However, the vertical wings deteriorate the lift-to-drag ratio of the Aero-train by aerodynamic interaction with the main wings. The present study was performed to improve the aerodynamic performance of the Aero-train by controlling wing-wing interaction. Installation of a single-slotted flap on the wings considerably improved the aerodynamic performance of the wings.
