Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of Large Transport Airplanes in Upset Conditions
John V. Foster,Kevin Cunningham,Charles M. Fremaux,Gautam H. Shah,Eric C. Stewart,Robert A. Rivers,James E. Wilborn,William Gato +7 more
TL;DR: Results have shown that significant improvements in simulation fidelity for upset conditions, compared to current training simulations, can be achieved using state-of-the-art wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic modeling methods.
Development of a Dynamically Scaled Generic Transport Model Testbed for Flight Research Experiments
Thomas L. Jordan,William M. Langford,Christine M. Belcastro,John V. Foster,Gautam H. Shah,Gregory Howland,Reggie Kidd +6 more
TL;DR: The Airborne Subscale Transport Aircraft Research (AirSTAR) testbed at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is a 5.5% dynamically scaled, remotely piloted, twin-turbine, swept wing, Generic Transport Model (GTM) which will be used to provide an experimental flight test capability for research experiments pertaining to dynamics modeling and control beyond the normal flight envelope.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Aerodynamic Effects and Modeling of Damage to Transport Aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, a wind tunnel investigation was conducted to measure the aerodynamic effects of damage to lifting and stability/control surfaces of a commercial transport aircraft configuration, and the effects of such effects are necessary for the development of flight control systems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wind tunnel investigation of aerodynamic and tail buffet characteristics of leading-edge extension modifications to the F/A-18
TL;DR: The impact of leading edge extension (LEX) modifications on aerodynamic and vertical tail buffet characteristics of a 16-percent scale F/A-18 model has been investigated in the NASA Langley 30-foot by 60-foot tunnel.
