This issue is especially relevant to manufacturers of aircraft, as extensive development costs and long product life cycles require a solid decision basis when initiating a new aircraft development program.
A historical account of the main milestones in T-tail aircraft development is included, followed by a T-tail flutter research review that emphasises the latest contributions from industry as well as academia.
He described every new aircraft development program as a "voyage of discovery" that often involved hiccups that cannot be anticipated even by state-of-the-art computer modeling software and logistics experts.
A simulation example, which is part of an aircraft product development process, shows the feasibility of the algorithm.
The breakthrough in aircraft development came in 1799 when Sir George Cayley, an English baron, drew an airplane incorporating a fixed wing for lift, an empennage (consisting of horizontal and vertical tail surfaces for stability and control), and a separate propulsion system.
Figure 1 shows that CFD is used today on a wide variety of tasks in the aircraft development at Airbus.
The main goal of the guideline is to guide the engineers during the aircraft development phases, such that a better aircraft design is achieved.
If we wanted to get away with it, who would stop us?" Despite Avro Canada's success in producing the CF-100, Canada's first jet fighter for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), aircraft development had proven to be a time-consuming and expensive process.
The model is designed to capture a first approximation of all aspects of the decision, and the findings give a broad picture of the current state of silent aircraft development.
With many modern fighter aircraft experiencing unpredicted flight dynamics during flight tests, recent research has focused on developing methodologies for incorporating computational fluid dynamics into the aircraft development process.
