    Extractions: An excellent way to gain an understanding and a feel for aerodynamic forces is to fly a kite. Kite flying is fun when done safely and you can study many of the fundamentals of airplane aerodynamics because a kite works very much like an airplane. As with an airplane, there are some geometrical definitions which will simplify our studies of kite aerodynamics. Kites come a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but the definitions found on this page can be applied to most kites. This page shows a three view diagram of a winged box kite. In a three view diagram, an object is shown from the front, side, and top with all three views drawn to the same scale. We use three view diagrams because some geometrical variables are easier to visualize in one view than in another. Beginning with the Front View , we note that the surface area-A which is used in the calculation of lift and drag is the frontal projected area of all of the surfaces of the kite. You learn how to compute the area of various shaped objects in middle school. For this winged box kite, the frontal projected area includes the full area of both wings (colored yellow) and the projected area of the top and bottom boxes (colored green). Notice that this is a projected area, not a geometric area. If each panel of the box kite is a square, there are four panels on the top and four on the bottom to form the two boxes. From the Top View , we see that each panel is inclined to the front at a 45 degree angle. Then the projected area

    Extractions: This page contains various programs that may prove useful to design class students, and other aerodynamics and design students. These are mostly old-fashioned codes without graphical user interfaces. In fact this was originally all FORTRAN source code. However, I've recently started adding executables since the FORTRAN source files typically can't be used by current undergraduates. In addition, some methods are given as MATLAB m-files. Another source of classic aerodynamics codes is the CD sold by Ralph Carmichael, Public Domain Aeronautical Software (PDAS) . Also, see the software review page for commercial codes with modern user interfaces. In some cases I have now added links to sites located elsewhere, where key codes are available.

    Extractions: Perhaps the best reason for selecting a parametric geometry definition of component-based design is that once the configuration is specified, the design process usually proceeds, component-by-component[ ]. An airplane is usually built from parts that are joined together, for example, a fuselage, a wing, tail, and engines, as shown in Figure . Just as these parts are considered separately, they are usually designed separately. When considering stability, for example, the wing and tail aerodynamics are usually computed as point forces. By combining these components, we can build a wide variety of shapes; these shapes are easy to specify and visualizewith or without fancy 3D computer software. Finally, most of the parameters used to build the geometry are actual design variables in that they have physical significance, for example fuselage-length, fuselage-width, wing-span, and wing-root-chord. Hopefully, this leads to an easier understanding of what these design-variables influence aerodynamically and will ultimately reduce the need for design iterations. Another way to consider this is the issue of macro-design vs.

    Extractions: Next: Grid Generation Methods Up: INTRODUCTION Previous: Aerodynamic Analysis To analyze the flow about an aircraft's shape, the designer needs first to determine and build an appropriate surface description. Any given airplane is composed of many individual parts, and specifying everything in its entirety can be very difficult and time-consuming. Many aircraft shapes, however, can be grouped in base shapes that differ only in key values of certain parameters , for example fuselage-length, wing-span, and tail-height. By starting with these parameters, a large variety of shapes can be easily built within this family. Oscar 's model is not the first parametric aircraft model in aerospace engineering design, and it will not be the last. Many models are buried in corporate proprietary environments, restricting their usefulness to the engineering public. This same restriction makes it difficult for oscar 's model to take advantage of anything more realistic that might be considered ``state of the art.'' The goal was to build a shape that looked like an airplane, and that was satisfied, but it should not be taken as the final word in aircraft shape design. Another parametric model for airplane-like shapes is Smith's Rapid Airplane Parametric Input Design (RAPID)[ ]. RAPID's geometric basis is biparameter surfaces defined by ordinary differential equations (ODE). By solving the ODE, the shape is determined completely, with all necessary derivatives determined incidentally. RAPID's strength is the creation of complete volume grids, perfectly suitable for analysis with a multi-block flow solver. However, by restricting the input model to a single family of shapes easily describable by ODE, the models themselves are simpler, with sharp features suitable for high-speed civil transport (HSCT) design perhaps, but not for subsonic aircraft.

    Extractions: Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Historical Developments of the Aircraft Industry with Mathematical Applications, by Hermine E. Smikle This unit is written with several audiences in mind: 1) for History—a junior high school grade 8 class to take a look at the developments that took place in the aircraft industry; 2) for Mathematics to be taught as an enrichment lesson for students in Basic Geometry or Geometry. Also, the section on spherical geometry can be used in a class of Algebra II Trigonometry as an extension or an introduction to spherical geometry. This unit makes an attempt to present new content ideas into the mathematics curriculum. The focus of the unit is on problem solving, using graphs as a model. The unit also considers the new standards that will be put in place for mathematics, and has considered some of the topics that have been targeted for increased attention. Because of the limitation placed on the numbers of pages in the unit, only a sample of the extension activities and worksheets presented for the students is included. The user, however, can make ditto of the examples presented, and, with the use of an atlas, can come up with more examples (spherical geometry). In the section on graphs and matrices, students can draw or design their own networks (good example of open-ended problems). The unit, therefore, lends itself to extensive use of one’s imagination. Examples can be found from newspapers, advertisements, a map, the atlas, and everyday activities. If there is the need for any other material or explanation I will be willing to provide these through the office of the Teachers Institute.

In contrast to several other file formats, its main advantages are I have defined an XML schema to represent the geometry of aircraft, which can be used to describe the geometry of multi winged aircraft configurations. It would be very helpful, if such a format would be implemented by most programs which handle wings. Wings can be main wings as well as tailplanes of all kinds. Any XML file is made up from tags similar to a HTML file. Tags are enclosed in pointed parentheses ( ). Each XML file must begin with the header tag:

For heavy load, long range missions the conventional aircraft configuration seems to be close to its limits. If transport aircraft grow larger than the ultra high capacity aircraft currently under development, alternative configurations seem to offer promising benefits in terms of performance and costs. The paper presents a comparison of two ultra high capacity long range transport aircraft: the first aircraft has been designed as a classical Wing-Fuselage-Tail configuration, whereas the second concept is an Integrated-Wing-Fuselage configuration. During the last years, the demand for long range transport aircraft has increased. A huge number of older aircraft are reaching the end of their service life and will require major retrofits or have to be replaced by new aircraft.

This is largely a reprint from the manual of one of the best combat flight sims ever released. Spectrum Holobyte's Falcon 3.0 was indeed the father of all modern, "realistic" combat flight sims. The F3 manual was one hell of a paper weight. Weighing in at something like seven pounds, the F3 manual was jam packed with information on flying the sim, and the usage of tactics, and the deployment of weapons and the employment of the aircraft. Here is a little jewel from the tactics section. Enjoy!
