Drag Prediction

Abstract This paper gives an overview of combat aircraft drag prediction in the context of the overall design and development process. Following a brief summary of the author’s experience in this field, the importance of drag prediction during initial configuration design is discussed, emphasising the need for the drag aerodynamicist to develop a good understanding of the other aerodynamic disciplines involved, as well as an appreciation of the of the total design process encompassing structural design, propulsion integration and systems installation. A brief description is given of typical simplified prediction methods used in initial design, followed by an example of drag synthesis procedures based on wind-tunnel test and analysis, illustrating the need for good understanding of test techniques and the requirements of other aerodynamic disciplines. Some future challenges are identified, requiring continual involvement in research and methods development programmes.

And Training

The analysis of aircraft design methods reported here has revealed that building a competitive aircraft necessitates devising a scientifically based concept of integrated aircraft design employing CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM software suites. A generalized concept of integrated design and three-dimensional computer modeling of aircraft involving the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM systems has been developed. Based on the proposed concept, the principles of integrated design of aircraft were devised. The features of designing the training and training-combat aircraft, transport-category aircraft, light civilian aircraft have been described. A method for determining the take-off weight, design parameters, and formation of the general appearance of aircraft has been improved. The method is intended to form the appearance of the aircraft at the stages of preliminary design, the purpose of which is reduced to determining the permissible version of the aircraft project. The project must meet the predefined requirements and restrictions in the selected aircraft scheme and the assigned set of parameters that characterize its airframe and power plant. A method of parametric modeling of aircraft has been improved, which includes the stages of creating a master geometry of the aircraft and a model of space distribution. Parametric models of master geometry and models of space distribution, training and training-combat aircraft, transport-category aircraft, light civilian aircraft have been constructed. Methods of integrated design of aircraft main units have been devised and theoretically substantiated. Parametric models of master geometry of the wing for a training aircraft, the wings, appendage, and fuselage of a light civilian aircraft were built, taking into consideration the design features of aircraft units of various categories

The Cost

Abstract Advanced jet training still relies on old concepts and solutions that are no longer efficient when considering the current and forthcoming changes in air combat. The cost of those old solutions to develop and maintain combat pilot skills are important, adding even more constraints to the training limitations. The requirement of having a trainer aircraft able to perform also light combat aircraft operational mission is adding unnecessary complexity and cost without any real operational advantages to air combat mission training. Thanks to emerging technologies, the JANUS project will study the feasibility of a brand-new concept of agile manoeuvrable training aircraft and an integrated training system, able to provide a live, virtual and constructive environment. The JANUS concept is based on a lightweight, low-cost, high energy aircraft associated to a ground based Integrated Training System providing simulated and emulated signals, simulated and real opponents, combined with real-time feedback on pilot’s physiological characteristics: traditionally embedded sensors are replaced with emulated signals, simulated opponents are proposed to the pilot, enabling out of sight engagement. JANUS is also providing new cost effective and more realistic solutions for “Red air aircraft” missions, organised in so-called “Aggressor Squadrons”.
