Aeromechanics and Integration
Abstract
This project develops aerodynamic configurations of a broad range of revolutionary, affordable aerospace vehicles. It matures and applies modeling and numerical simulation methods for fast and affordable aerodynamics prediction and integrates and demonstrates multi-disciplinary advances in airframe, propulsion, weapon, and air vehicle control integration. Technologies developed will greatly enhance warfighter capability in aircraft, missiles, and high-speed aerospace vehicles. The payoffs from these technology programs include lower vehicle costs (both production and operations and support costs), increased payload and range capability, and improved supportability, safety, and survivability of aerospace vehicles.
