AGARD Standard Aeroelastic Configurations for Dynamic Response I - Wing 445.6
Abstract
Research on the application of computational fluid dynamics methods to unsteady flows and aeroelastic analysis, especially in the transonic range, is presently undergoing rapid development. In order to assess the applicability of such newly developed prediction techniques for practical aeroelastic investigations of modern aircraft, standard aeroelastic configurations for comparing calculated and measured dynamic aeroelastic behavior under high subsonic to transonic flow conditions have been defined by the AGARD-SMP. The present report contains experimental flutter data for the AGARD 3D swept tapered standard configuration 'Wing 445.6', along with related descriptive data of the model properties required for comparative flutter calculations. Within a cooperative AGARD-SMP programme guided by the Subcommittee on Aeroelasticity, this standard configuration may serve as a common basis for comparisons of calculated and measured aeroelastic behaviour, in order to promote a better understanding of the assumptions, approximation and limitations underlying the various aerodynamic methods applied, thus pointing the way to further improvements.
