Abstract:
This study pursues medium-range, transonic transport aircraft configuration which had a cruise Mach of 0.82 and flight mission that is similar to that of Airbus A340-300. In this article, focus on more than one field of interest in aeronautics is combined with each other. The aircraft flying at Mach about 0.82 and the corresponding deformations are taken into account. This deformation produces disturbance in the flow field behind the surface where it occurs. The disturbed flow field affects the performance of control surface and its effectiveness. The cantilever wing with an aileron control surface is designed, and its effects on aerodynamic and structural characteristics are computed by using partially coupled Fluid Structure Interaction solver. From the aeroelastic fluid-structure interaction analysis results, flight dynamics characteristic of control surface effectiveness are computed. The effectiveness of a single aileron control surface in the absence of other control surfaces is used for validating the experimental results.
