Abstract:This report describes the aerodynamics model used in a simulation model of
an advanced short takeoff and vertical landing lift-far fighter aircraft. The
simulation model was developed for use in piloted evaluations of transition and
hover flight regimes; so that only low speed (M~0.2) aerodynamics are included
in the mathematical model. The aerodynamic effects, including ground effects.
The power-off aerodynamics data were generated using the U.S. Air Force
Stability and Control Digital DATCOM program and a NASA Ames in-house graphics
program called VORVIEW which allows the user to easily analyze arbitrary
conceptual aircraft configurations using the VORLAX program. The jet-induced
data were generated using the prediction methods of R.E. Kuhn et al., as
referenced in this report.
