COMPUTER AIDED ADVANCED DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE OF AIRBORNE VEHICLES,
Abstract
The results of the pilot investigation of the feasibility of computer aided military operations research of airborne vehicles indicates that (1) present computer technology represents a vast, virtually untapped resource; (2) the airborne vehicle design and performance analysis problem can be effectively modularized down to the level of superposing basic building block analyses of fundamental hardware components; (3) a diverse spectrum of vehicle configurations can be effectively handled by a single generalized system of computer programs assembled into logical subsystems which are independent of the vehicle configuration; (4) the design and assemblage of such a generalized system requires a thorough understanding of the computer hardware, the software programming language being used, and indeed, the engineering aspects of structures, aerodynamics, propulsion and performance.
