C-295 AEW AERODYNAMIC DESIGN PROCESS: CFD, WIND TUNNEL TESTS AND FLIGHT TESTS

摘要

Airbus Military Aerodynamics department has accomplished the aerodynamic design and integration of a six meter diameter rotodome on the C-295 aircraft for an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) version. The purpose of this report is to describe the design proccess carried out with CFD tools, wing tunnel tests and flight tests. A comparison between the results obtained in each phase is presented.
