, V.Yamini Anoosha*, Kushal D Gowda, , Saathvik Bhat, · International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering · 2020

The paper describes the importance of reducing induced drag built up due to tip vortices which is caused by the lift produced by the aircraft wings. In this paper the effectiveness of boxwing is improved by reducing the induced drag on the boxwing. With this the practicality of boxwing rises to new level.The airfoil impact on the boxwing is studied and different airfoils are selected accordingly. Supercritical airfoils are analyzed and its importance is applied to boxwing as their practicality is observed. Here the effect of different supercritical airfoils when used for the front wing, aft wing and winglet according to their functionality are analyzed in the paper using sophisticated software. Then by selecting a specified commercial aircraft we can check the normal conventional wing computational results comparing the same aircraft with boxwing configuration on it. By this comparison we can determine by what percentage we would decrease the induced drag with the usage of boxwing configuration. The following work is done to ensure that the boxwing is applied into practical aircrafts such commercial aircrafts hence we have used a commercial aircraft as the base to determine boxwing
