Abstract: In order to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of vortex-flapped slonder wings, the apex-flap and trailing-edge flaps are added on them. Through studying the interaction between apex vortices and leading-edge vortices, a way is found to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of slender wings. Results show that the vortical interaction has a great influence on vortical production, movement and aerodynamic characteristics of slender wings. By controlling the deflected angle of the apex flap, the drag will be reduced and the lift increased. So the method of employing apex flap and trailing-edge flaps in combination is effective in enhancing the aerodynamic characteristics of slender wings.
