摘要

This chapter explores airfoil aerodynamics in rarefied environments, presenting a semi-analytical method for assessing lift and drag in free-molecular flow. Parametric studies investigate the influence of rarefaction on aerodynamic performance, considering variables such as Mach number, Reynolds number, angle of attack, camber, and airfoil thickness.
