This paper summarizes the status of ongoing NASA research supported over the past eight years to advance computational capabilities for modeling civil aircraft loss of control due to airframe damage or wing stall The research is motivated by a desire to exploit the capabilities of computational methods to create augmented flight simulation models that improve pilot training for such loss-of-control scenarios Flight of aircraft with either airframe damage or operating near and beyond the stall boundary encounters additional nonlinear aerodynamic influences on stability and control from dynamic motions that, if not included in flight simulation models, may lead to incorrect pilot responses In the present work, both low- and high-fidelity computational methods are explored for analyzing such nonlinearities The challenge of creating nonlinear reduced-order models from high-fidelity computational data is also addressed At the beginning, few guidelines were available for computing or modeling the dynamic sread more

Improved Stall Prediction for Swept Wings Using Low-Order Aerodynamics.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the use of modified lift curves for the sections of swept wings, with modifications derived from analysis of RANS computational results, and the results indicated that the strip-theory approach is still applicable for swept wings provided the effect of spanwise redistribution of flow separation is correctly taken into consideration.
