Liu 3 Aerodynamics Methods and Acoustics Branch NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23665, USA ABSTRACT The buffet response of the flexible twin-tail/delta wing configuration-a multidisciplinary problem is solved using three sets of equations on a multi-block grid structure. The first set is the unsteady, compressible, full Navier-Stokes equations which are used for obtaining the flow-filed vector and the aerodynamic loads on the twin tails. The second set is the coupled aeroelastic equations which are used for obtaining the bending and torsional deflections of the twin tails.

Wing, Fuselage and Tail • Mainplane: Airfoil Cross-Section Shape, Taper Ratio Selection, Sweep Angle Selection, Wing Drag Estimation
Design Of Structural Components - Wing, Fuselage and Tail • Mainplane: Airfoil cross-section shape, taper ratio selection, sweep angle selection, wing drag estimation. Spread sheet for wing design. • Fuselage: Volume consideration, quantitative shapes, air inlets, wing attachments; Aerodynamic considerations and drag estimation. Spread sheets. • Tail arrangements: Horizontal and vertical tail sizing. Tail planform shapes. Airfoil selection type. Tail placement. Spread sheets for tail design Main Wing Design 1. Introduction: Airfoil Geometry: • Wing is the main lifting surface of the aircraft. • Wing design is the next logical step in the conceptual design of the aircraft, after selecting the weight and the wing-loading that match the mission requirements. • The design of the wing consists of selecting: i) the airfoil cross-section, ii) the average (mean) chord length, iii) the maximum thickness-to-chord ratio, iv) the aspect ratio, v) the taper ratio, and Wing Geometry: vi) the sweep angle which is defined for the leading edge (LE) as well as the trailing edge (TE) • Another part of the wing design involves enhanced lift devices such as leading and trailing edge flaps. • Experimental data is used for the selection of the airfoil cross-section shape. • The ultimate “goals” for the wing design are based on the mission requirements. • In some cases, these goals are in conflict and will require some compromise. Main Wing Design (contd) 2. Airfoil Cross-Section Shape: • Effect of ( t c ) max on C • The shape of the wing cross-section determines lmax for a variety of the pressure distribution on the upper and lower 2-D airfoil sections is surfaces of the wing.

Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) Aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to Replace the Existing Fleet of T-38C Jet Trainers
Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Updated September 18, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44856 Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Summary NOTE: This report was originally written by Ceir Coral while he was an Air Force Fellow at the Congressional Research Service. Since his departure, it has been maintained by Jeremiah Gertler of CRS. On September 27, 2018, the United States Air Force (USAF) awarded The Boeing Company a contract, worth up to $9.2 billion, to procure 351 Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to replace the existing fleet of T-38C jet trainers. The Air Force had originally valued the contract at roughly $19.7 billion. Information on the value of other competitors’ bids was not available. On September 16, 2019, Acting Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Donovan announced that in service, the T-X aircraft would be known as the T-7A Red Hawk. In this report, “APT T-X” will be used to identify the entire training system, while “T-7A” will refer to the aircraft portion of that system. The FY2020 Administration budget request included $348.473 million for the APT T-X. According to the USAF, the current T-38C trainer fleet is old, costly, and outdated, and lacks the technology to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighter and bomber operations. Based on Air Education Training Command’s evaluation of the required capabilities to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighters and bombers, the T-38C falls short in 12 of 18 capabilities, forcing the USAF to train for those capabilities in operational units where flying hours are costly and can affect fleet readiness.

Cole, Steven W. Moss, and Robert V. Doggett, Jr. SUMMARY A rigid, 1/6-size, full-span model of an F-18 airplane was fitted with flexible vertical tails of two different levels of stiffness. These tails were buffet tested in the Langley Transonic Dynamics Tunnel. Vertical-tail buffet response results that were obtained over the range of angles of attack from -10 ° to +40 ° degrees, and over the range of Mach numbers from 0.30 to 0.95 are presented. These results indicate the following: (1) the buffet response occurs in the first bending mode; (2) the buffet response increases with increasing dynamic pressure, but changes in response are not linearly proportional to the changes in dynamic pressure; (3) the buffet response is larger at M=0.30 than it is at the higher Mach numbers; (4) the maximum intensity of the buffeting is described as heavy to severe using an assessment criteria proposed by another investigator; and (5) the data at different dynamic pressures and for the different tails correlate reasonably well using the buffet excitation parameter derived from the dynamic analysis of buffeting.
