Prediction of Aerodynamic Loading

Abstract

This FDP Symposium was primarily concerned with the fluid dynamic aspects of predicting aerodynamic loads on aircraft and their external stores, and in particular those loads that represent difficult design and operating problems. Emphasis was on theoretical and semi-empirical methods for determining the level and distribution of the expected loading and on assessing and evaluating the accuracy of the predicted values through comparison with available experimental data from windtunnels or from flight tests. Four sessions were conducted: Experimental and Semi-Empirical; External Stores and Vortex Interactions; Calculation, Quasi-Steady Loads; and Transient or Fluctuating Loads. Following the last session, a Round Table Discussion was conducted, led by session Chairmen, in which all participants were invited to comment.
