Hypersonic Research Vehicle (HRV) Real-Time Flight Test Support Feasibility andRequirements Study. Part 1: Real-Time Flight Experiment Support

摘要

The results are presented of a study to identify potential real time remotecomputational applications to support monitoring HRV flight test experiments along with definitions of preliminary requirements. A major expansion of the support capability available at Ames-Dryden was considered. The focus is on the use of extensive computation and data bases together with real time flight data to generate and present high level information to those monitoring the flight. Six examples were considered: (1) boundary layer transition location; (2) shock wave position estimation; (3) performance estimation; (4) surface temperature estimation; (5) critical structural stress estimation; and (6) stability estimation.
