Special Course on Fundamentals of Fighter Aircraft Design

Abstract

The Course presented a comprehensive review of fundamental procedures used during a fighter pre-development phase concentrating on basic mission requirements and aircraft sizing; aerodynamic design including performance, stability and control; materials, structural optimization and aeroelasticity; aircraft dynamics; engine intake and nozzle integration; and airframe store- compatibility Experimental and theoretical work has been demonstrated to play complementary roles and recommendations for future development of engineering tools are given in conclusion. Keywords: Fighter aircraft, Design, Aerodynamic characteristics, Materials, External stores, Engine inlets.
