The stability and control characteristics using a wind tunnel test data process are proposed and developed to investigate the stability and control characteristics of a CS-VLA certified aircraft and to comply with the CS-VLA subpart B at the preliminary design review (PDR) and critical design review (CDR) stage. The aerodynamic characteristics of a 20% scale model are provided and investigated with clean, rudder, aileron, elevator, and winglet effects. The Mach and Reynolds correction methods are proposed to correct the aerodynamics of the scale model for stability and control analysis to obtain more reliable and accurate results of the full-scale model. The aerodynamic inputs and moment of inertia (MOI) comparison between the PDR and CDR stage show good agreement in the trends of stability and control derivatives. The CDR analysis results with the corrected wind tunnel test data and accurate MOI are investigated with respect to the longitudinal and lateral stability, control, and handling qualities to comply with the CS-VLA 173, CS-VLA 177, and CS-VLA 181 for finalizing the configuration in the CDR stage.

We should like to preface our essay on the subject of spinning by mentioning the circumstances under which our investigations were carried out and the sources of our information. The Panel of the Aeronautical Research Committee which has been appointed to deal with all questions connected with the stability and control of aeroplanes was requested in 1924 to consider the urgent problems connected with the alarming accidents due to certain machines failing to retover from a spin. After the issue of a preliminary report on the situation by the Panel, the writers of this paper were asked to go into the whole question as far as existing information from full-scale and wind tunnel experiments would permit. We have had ready access to all available data, coming chiefly from Farnborough on the full-scale side, and from the N.P.L. on the model side.

Airframe/propulsion system interactions can strongly affect the stability and control of supersonic cruise aircraft. These interactions generate forces and moments similar in magnitude to those produced by the aerodynamic controls, and can cause significant changes in vehicle damping and static stability. This in turn can lead to large aircraft excursions or high pilot workload, or both. For optimum integration of an airframe and its jet propulsion system, these phenomena may have to be taken into account.

Base Design

This research carries out the advanced phase in correlation with the previous published design of KF Implemented Flying Wing. At the primary stage the basic design was considered under omission of non-static components and turbulent conditions. At this stage the simulations have taken a step ahead with improved flow conditions and advanced modeling of the design. As per the design aspects the engines, pylons, landing gears and shape improvements were done with solid modeling. Due to the computational limitations this was divided in to two phases as cruising conditions with non-static components and further studies to be carried out in Takeoff and Landing conditions with extended landing gears. Under the stability and control conditions a separate research is being carried out in achieving the optimum capability. Propfan engine selected for extreme condition evaluations. The implementations were made without disrupting the base design which was presented in phase one basic simulation carried out prior to this. The simulation results deemed to be promising for the first stage as well as the effect of new components. The secondary target areas are to be carried out in further ongoing research as well
