Composite Maneuver Augmentation (COMMA) For Fighter Aircraft: Preliminary Design Study.

Abstract

The Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory plans to test an advanced composite wing with an internally blown jet flap on a low cost, low risk unmanned vehicle. This technical report identifies required modifications to the BQM-34F target vehicle, including the engine and wing interface constraints, to support the flight test program. Emphasis was given to the fuselage structure, elevator control power, bleed air valve and ducting, flight control system, vehicle electrical system, and the instrumentation and telemetry systems. AFFDL provided the wing definition and jet flap wind tunnel test data.
