We studied effect of ventilation ports on aerodynamics of the fuselage of a human-powered airplane and cooling performance of the pilot. An opening made in the fuselage is one of remedies for enhancing the performance of the pilot. On the other hand, the opening influences aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane, in particular the drag of the fuselage. When the ratio of inlet and outlet areas is larger than 3.0, the flux of air taken at the inlet is almost proportional to the area of inlet and depends weakly on the position and area of the outlet. Cooling of the pilot is estimated from the data of Nusselt number around the cylinder in the uniform flow at the Reynolds number defined by a velocity averaged over a cross section. An additive drag due to interaction between the injected flow from the outlets and the ambient flow around the fuselage depends strongly on the location of the outlet; the nearer to the trailing edge the outlet position moves, the less the drag increases.

Aerodynamic characteristics of NACA0012 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers (Re=1.0×104∼1.0×105) are measured systematically to clarify nonlinearity of the aerofoil characteristics. The variation of the lift curve with the angle of attack is divided into 5 sub-regions; the gradient of the lift curve much depends on the incident angle. Negative values of the gradient of lift coefficient are observed at lower angles of attack in a Reynolds numbers range. The sub-regions are summarized in a diagram of angle of attack and Reynolds numbers. The coefficients of drag and moment around 0.25 chord length have also unique characteristics.
