  • COMPUTATIONAL AEROELASTICITY in HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT LOADS* Mike Love, Tony De La Garza, Eric Charlton, Dan Egle Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company
    ICAS 2000 CONGRESS COMPUTATIONAL AEROELASTICITY IN HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT FLIGHT LOADS* Mike Love, Tony De La Garza, Eric Charlton, Dan Egle Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Keywords: computational aeorelasticity, CFD, flight loads Abstract A computational aeroelasticity method has been developed that combines a compu- tational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on a finite volume, Cartesian / prismatic grid scheme with automated unstructured grid creation and adaption with established structural finite element methods. This analysis is motivated by the need to develop an analysis capability for fighter-aircraft critical flight loads. Flight conditions for such often reside in transonic flow regimes and comprise nonlinear aerodynamics due to shocks, flow-separation onset, and complex geometry.

  • KA-6D Intruder - 1971
    KA-6D Intruder - 1971 United States Type: Tanker (Air Refueling) Min Speed: 300 kt Max Speed: 570 kt Commissioned: 1971 Length: 16.7 m Wingspan: 16.2 m Height: 4.8 m Crew: 2 Empty Weight: 12070 kg Max Weight: 27500 kg Max Payload: 15870 kg Propulsion: 2x J52-P-409 Weapons / Loadouts: - 300 USG Drop Tank - Drop Tank. OVERVIEW: The Grumman A-6 Intruder was an American, twin jet-engine, mid-wing all-weather attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. In service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps between 1963 and 1997, the Intruder was designed as an all-weather medium attack aircraft to replace the piston-engined Douglas A-1 Skyraider. As the A-6E was slated for retirement, its precision strike mission was taken over by the Grumman F-14 Tomcat equipped with a LANTIRN pod. From the A-6, a specialized electronic warfare derivative, the EA-6 was developed. DETAILS: The A-6's design team was led by Lawrence Mead, Jr. He later played a lead role in the design of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the Lunar Excursion Module. The jet nozzles were originally designed to swivel downwards for shorter takeoffs and landings. This feature was initially included on prototype aircraft, but was removed from the design during flight testing. The cockpit used an unusual double pane windscreen and side-by-side seating arrangement in which the pilot sat in the left seat, while the bombardier/navigator sat to the right and slightly below. The incorporation of an additional crew member with separate responsibilities, along with a unique cathode ray tube (CRT) display that provided a synthetic display of terrain ahead, enabled low-level attack in all weather conditions.

(creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/it/) Alla mia musa , a Vale «As ailerons, these damn spoilers make great rudders!» Bruce Miller, after flying the Marske Pioneer 1A Abstract The subject of UCAV design is an important topic nowadays and many countries have their own programmes. An international group, under the initiative of the NATO RTO AVT-201 Task group, titled “Extended Assessment of Reliable Stability & Control Pre- diction Methods for NATO Air Vehicles”, is currently performing intensive analysis on a generic UCAV configuration, named SACCON. In this thesis the stability and control characteristics of the SACCON are investigated, with the purpose of carrying out a compre- hensive assessment of the flying qualities of the design. The study included the generation of the complete aerodynamic database of the aircraft, on the basis of the experimental data measured during TN2514 and TN2540 campaigns at DNW-NWB low speed wind tunnel. Moreover, system identification techniques were adopted for the extraction of dynamic derivatives from the time histories of forced oscillation runs. The trim of the aircraft was evaluated across the points of a reasonable test envelope, so as to define a set of plausible operative conditions, representing the reference conditions for subsequent linearization of the dynamic model.

  • Structural Certification of the F-16 Block 52+ Aircraft 29 November 2005 2005 USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program Conference
    Structural Certification of the F-16 Block 52+ Aircraft 29 November 2005 2005 USAF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program Conference Robert J. Burt Director and Deputy F-35 Structural Development and Integrity Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Fort Worth © 2005 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Structural Certification of the F-16 Block 52+ Aircraft Abstract This presentation will describe in some detail the process followed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics – Fort Worth for the structural certification of the new production F-16 Block 52+ aircraft for foreign military sales (FMS). The F-16 Block 52+ aircraft are structurally upgraded from the USAF Block 50/52 aircraft due to carriage of the fuselage shoulder mounted conformal fuel tanks and due to the addition of numerous advanced systems. The structural requirements and their methods of verification are set forth in the program contract and subsequent program documents such as the weapon system specification and air vehicle specification. Every USAF and FMS F-16 has an Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) based upon program contractual requirement and tailored to MIL-STD-1530B Aircraft Structural Integrity Program. An ASIP Master Plan has been written for the Block 52+ aircraft which has been coordinated with and approved by the USAF F-16 System Group. This ASIP Master Plan states in specific terms how all the tasking outlined in the “five pillars” is accomplished. An overall design process will be discussed in depth pointing out how all historical structural analysis, structural test and field information has been used in the structural design of the Block 52+ aircraft.
