Aerodynamic characteristic analysis of hypersonic cruise aircraft is more difficult than that of conventional aircraft, for the complex flow field simulation and inadequate amount of results under limited flight conditions. In this paper, numerical schemes applicable for hypersonic flow field are adopted to acquire a set of aerodynamic characteristics of a typical hypersonic cruise aircraft as sample data, based on which response surface models (RSM) are constructed to provide approximation of aerodynamic characteristics under any flight conditions within the design domain, finally the overall approximation performance of the response surface models are analyzed.

A lot of numerical and experimental studies indicate that wrap-around fin configuration exhibits a self-induced rolling moment even at angle of attack zero. It depends on the unequal pressure distributions over both sides of the fin. In this paper, we try to prove this special aerodynamic characteristic with a theoretical method. According to the transonic small perturbation potential theory, as well as the transonic small perturbation potential equation, this paper found the expressions of the wrap-around fin convexity and the concave pressure coefficient at subsonic and supersonic by solving the Laplace equation and the Bessel function of imaginary argument, and analyze the phenomena of wrap-around fin rolling moment generation at angle of attack zero, and discuss the reason. The flow field of a projectile with wrap-around fins is solved by numerical method to check the pressure distributions of the two surfaces of the wing at subsonic and supersonic, respectively. The computational result is accordant to the theoretical analysis results. It is proved that the complicated pressure distribution of the wing surfaces leads to the particular characteristic of rolling moment.

An improved train model, which contributes to obtain the aerodynamic characteristic of the high-speed train equipment bay, is established. By building a VEB (vehicle equipment bay) model in it, this improved model can demonstrate air flow around the VEB. The result shows that pressure fluctuation appears around the VEB, which gives visible difference from the classical train model. Applying the spectral analysis, the influence factors (include position and train speed) of the pressure fluctuation is studied.

This paper develops a numerical method that is capable of analyzing the aerodynamic characteristic of the helicopter main rotor in consider the influence of fuselage. The method is based on an unsteady nonlinear vortex-lattice method that can be used to simulate the interactions among the helicopter components efficiently. To clarify the effect of the main rotor-fuselage interaction, the aerodynamic characteristics of the main rotor in consider the influence of fuselage is determined along with those of the combined main rotor-fuselage system. The paper also shows the velocity field and free wake model in several flight regimes. The fuselage is modeled as a streamlined object, which is discretized into the system of quadrilateral vortex panels. The no-penetration boundary condition is satisfied on the fuselage surface, and no vorticity is shed from the fuselage. The results obtained in this paper are validated against experimental data and some from previous numerical methods.
