Cycle 2 Nonlinear Design Optimization Analytical Cross Checks

The objectives of the Cycle 2 Nonlinear Design Optimization Anlaytical Cross Checks are to: 1) Understand the variability in the predicted performance levels of the nonlinear designs arising from the use of different inviscid (full potential/Euler) and viscous (Navier-Stokes) analysis methods; and 2) Provide the information required to allow the performance levels of all three designs to be validated using the data from the NCV (nonlinear Cruise Validation) model test.

Propulsion Induced Effects Test Program

The objective of this milestone is to assess the propulsion/airframe integration characteristics of the Technology Concept Airplane and design variations through computational analysis and experimental subsonic through supersonic wind tunnel testing. The Milestone will generate a comprehensive CFD and wind tunnel data base of the baseline, and design variations. Emphasis will be placed on establishing the propulsion induced effects on the flight performance of the Technology Concept Airplane with all appropriate wind tunnel corrections.
