Analysis of Flight and Tunnel Tests on the Fairey Delta 2 Research Aircraft
نویسنده
چکیده
A detailed comparison of resu[ts has been made from several series of flight tests, spanning a number of years, on the Fairey Delta 2, with wind tunnel tests on 1/9 and 1/24 scale models and with reference also to simple theoretical results. The Mach number range of interest has been M = 0.6 to M = 1.8. This report considers both longitudinal and lateral characteristics together with flow field development and surface pressure measurements. In order to help exl~lain several discrepancies observed, special interest has been focused on detailed differences in geometry between full scale aircraft and models, on aeroelastic effects and on differences in flow field development due to scale differences. It has been possible to suggest explanations for many of the discrepancies in terms of these effects. Where possible, reference has been made to other simi[ar aircraft in order to make the conclusions as general as possible.

A piloted simulation study of the handling characteristics of the B.A.C. 221 aircraft in the approach configuration was made in preparation for the first flight of the aircraft. The simulation included a simpli~ed representation of the outside visual world, and cockpit motion in pitch and roll. Values of the aircraft's lateral derivatives and moments of inertia were varied to allow for uncertai...
متن کاملIn-Trim Flight Investigations of a Conceptual Fluidic Thrust-Vectored Unmanned Tail-Sitter Aircraft
The feasibility of using a stand alone Fluidic Thrust-Vectoring (FTV) system for the purpose of longitudinal trim of an unmanned aerial vehicle is the focus of the research presented in this paper. Since the fluidic thrust vectoring requires high pressure secondary air to deflect the engine exhaust gases, this research also provides an analytical toolset for preliminary sizing of a suitable sec...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to design and evaluate the construction of a lightweight solar aircraft that is capable of flying continuously for 24 hours relying solely on solar energy. The required energy is absorbed during the day by solar panels, some is used directly for flight, and the excess energy is stored in the aircraft battery for overnight flight. The aircraft will then be ...
