Survey on the Aerodynamics of Battle-Damaged Combat Aircraft

Abstract

A literature survey on the aerodynamics of battle-damaged combat aircraft is presented in this report. The survey considers experimental investigations carried out in wind tunnels using either scaled or full-sized models of complete aircraft or components of aircraft that have either simulated damage or actual gunfire damage. The survey could assist in the planning of a possible experimental program at AMRL to obtain aerodynamic data for battle-damaged aircraft. The data could be used in modelling the flight-dynamic behaviour of damaged aircraft.
