10. Supersonic Aerodynamics
Grumman Tribody Concept featured on the 1978 company calendar. The basis for this idea will be explained below. 10. Supersonic Aerodynamics 10.1 Introduction There have actually only been a few truly supersonic airplanes. This means airplanes that can cruise supersonically. Before the F-22, classic “supersonic” fighters used brute force (afterburners) and had extremely limited duration. As an example, consider the two defined supersonic missions for the F-14A: F-14A Supersonic Missions CAP (Combat Air Patrol) • 150 miles subsonic cruise to station • Loiter • Accel, M = 0.7 to 1.35, then dash 25 nm - 4 1/2 minutes and 50 nm total • Then, must head home, or to a tanker! DLI (Deck Launch Intercept) • Energy climb to 35K ft, M = 1.5 (4 minutes) • 6 minutes at M = 1.5 (out 125-130 nm) • 2 minutes Combat (slows down fast) After 12 minutes, must head home or to a tanker. In this chapter we will explain the key supersonic aerodynamics issues facing the configuration aerodynamicist. We will start by reviewing the most significant airplanes that had substantial sustained supersonic capability. We will then examine the key physical underpinnings of supersonic gas dynamics and their implications for configuration design. Examples are presented showing applications of modern CFD and the application of MDO. We will see that developing a practical supersonic airplane is extremely demanding and requires careful integration of the various contributing technologies. Finally we discuss contemporary efforts to develop new supersonic airplanes. 10.2 Supersonic “Cruise” Airplanes The supersonic capability described above is typical of most of the so-called supersonic fighters, and obviously the supersonic performance is limited. -

01 Wind Tunnels
ExperimentalExperimental AerodynamicsAerodynamics Lecture 1: Introduction G. Dimitriadis Experimental Aerodynamics Introduction •! Experimental aerodynamics can have the following objectives: –!To measure the forces exerted by the air on moving bodies –!To measure the forces exerted by wind on static bodies –!To help develop or validate aerodynamic theories –!To help design moving or static bodies so as to optimize their aerodynamic efficiency Experimental Aerodynamics History (1) •! Aerodynamics means ‘air in motion’. The term was first documented in 1837. •! Humans have known that moving air can exert significant forces on bodies since the dawn of time. •! Aristotle (4th century BC) is recognized as the first to write that air has weight and that bodies moving through fluids are subjected to forces. Experimental Aerodynamics History (2) •! Archimedes (3rd century BC) formulated the theory of hydrostatic pressure •! Leonardo Da Vinci brought about two major advances in aerodynamics: –! He noticed that water in a river moves faster in places where the river is narrow (basics of Bernouli’s theorem) –! He also stated that the aerodynamic results are the same when a body moves through a fluid as when a fluid moves past a static body at the same velocity: The wind tunnel principle Experimental Aerodynamics Aerodynamic Experiments •! Experiments in aerodynamics (and fluid dynamics) can take many forms. •! Observations: –! Water speed in rivers (Da Vinci, 15th century) •! Measurements –! Drag proportional to object’s area (Da Vinci, 15th century) -
