The results of a parametric wing design study using a modern laminar flow airfoil designed to exhibit desirable stall characteristics while maintaining high cruise performance are presented. It was found that little is sacrificed in cruise performance when satisfying the stall margin requirements if a taper ratio of 0.65 or greater is used.
The results of an integrated study of structures, aerodynamics, and controls using the STARS program on two advanced airplane configurations are presented. Results for the X-29A include finite element modeling, free vibration analyses, unsteady aerodynamic calculations, flutter/divergence analyses, and an aeroservoelastic controls analysis. Good correlation is shown between STARS results and various other verified results. The tasks performed on the Oblique Wing Research Aircraft include finite element modeling and free vibration analyses.
High-incidence vortical flow about a 65-deg sweep delta wing undergoing static roll and large-amplitude, high-rate-of-roll oscillations is simulated numerically using the time-dependent, three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged, Navier-Stokes equations. Turbulent computations are presented for static roll angles up through 42 degrees. The effects of roll angle on the vortex aerodynamics are discussed, and the solution accuracy is evaluated by comparison with experimental data. The effects of grid refinement and zonal boundary condition treatment on solution accuracy are assessed at zero roll angle. Numerical simulation of a forced periodic roll motion is also presented.
