Aerodynamics of Combat Aircraft Controls and of Ground Effects (L'Aerodynamique des Commandes des Avions de Combat et des Effets de Sol)

Abstract

The papers presented at the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel Symposium on 'Aerodynamics of Combat Aircraft Controls and of Ground Effects' are summarized and evaluated. The reviewer also provides some general conclusions relative to the effectiveness of the symposium in addressing the problems of aerodynamics of combat aircraft controls and ground effects in an era when a stretched combat maneuverability envelope is needed to enhance both offensive and defensive combat capability. Recommendations for future experimental and computational fluid dynamics activities are also provided. The papers presented at the meeting have been collected in AGARD CP-465(ADA223680).
