Special Course on Engineering Methods in Aerodynamic Analysis and Design ofAircraft (Les Methodes d'Ingenierie Employee lors de l'Analyse et de la Conception des Aeronefs)

摘要

Lecture notes for the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Special Course on 'EngineeringMethods in Aerodynamic Analysis and Design of Aircraft' have been assembled in this report. Proven engineering methods used during conceptual and preliminary design and development of new aircraft concepts are presented. These methods focus on simple computational procedures for conceptual and preliminary design, low-level analysis computer codes, and experimental techniques for aircraft performance predictions. The course was aimed at helping train young engineers to appreciate and work with simple engineering tools to enhance the art of cost-effective preliminary design of new aircraft. The AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Special Course-for which this material was prepared-was held 6th-10th May 1991 at the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey; 13th-17th May at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Rhode-St-Genese, Belgium; and 20th-24th May at the Universitad Politecnica de madrid, ETSI Aeronauticos, Madrid, Spain. This course was developed and conducted under the combined sponsorship of the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel, the AGARD Consultant and Exchange Programme, and the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics.
