Loads Technology for Supersonic Cruise Aircraft
نویسنده
چکیده
Specifically, a flight program to measure atmospheric turbulence at high altitudes (long wavelengths) in a variety of meteorological conditions is described and some results obtained in high-altitude wind shear are discussed. Results are also presented from wind-tunnel test programs to measure fluctuating pressures associated with over-the-wing engine configurations. Two analyses, a flexible aircraft take-off and landing analysis and an active control landing-gear analysis, have been developed and their capabilities are described. Efforts to validate these analyses with experimental data are also discussed as well as results obtained from parametric studies.
