Aircraft Stalling and Buffeting

Abstract

Aircraft stalling and buffeting are related phenomena which limit the useable lift of an aircraft and hence determine its minimum flying speeds, its maximum cruising altitude and its manoeuverability. The basic physical mechanisms are aerodynamic, involving separations of the airflow over the wings, but the limitations on the performance of the aircraft depend on its aeroelastic and dynamic response. The Lecture Series aims to give an account of recent developments in the understanding of the fluid dynamics of stalling and buffeting, of the dynamic response of the aircraft and of techniques for buffet prediction, with consideration of the implications for aircraft design. This publication should be of interest to aircraft aerodynamicists and research workers in fluid dynamics and flight mechanics.
