Abstract
In order to increase the effectiveness, performance, and fuel economy of aeronautical vehiclessuch as airplanes, rotorcraft, and spacecraftdrag reduction is essential. From aerodynamic shape optimization to sophisticated surface treatments and cutting-edge technology, this review article offers a thorough examination of the many drag reduction strategies used in aerospace engineering. The main objective is to reduce induced and parasitic drag by utilizing cutting-edge technology, surface alterations, and contemporary aerodynamic principles. We look at methods including surface coatings, active flow control, form optimization, and bio-inspired designs. Future developments in drag reduction, such as the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sophisticated computational algorithms, are also covered, along with the difficulties and restrictions of these approaches.The paper concludes by highlighting the ongoing need for continued innovation in this critical area of aerospace engineering to meet the rising demand for fuel-efficient, environmentally sustainable, and high-performance aerospace systems.
