Simulation of the Transient Aeroelastic Response of a Realistic Aircraft Configuration During Three-Dimensional High G Maneuvers
Abstract
Our long-term objective has been the development of a high-fidelity and high-performance simulation capability for predicting and optimizing the dynamic aeroelastic response of a fighter during three-dimensional high-G maneuvers in subsonic, transonic, and supersonic airstreams. Our focus has been on Air Force problems involving a modern fighter or bomber, and relevant to new approaches for flutter testing, mitigation of limit-cycle (LCO) and pilot induced (P1O) oscillations, as well as performance optimization. Our starting point has been the unique aeroelastic simulation capability developed at the University of Colorado under the sponsorship of the Air Force office of Scientific Research, and in partnership with the Flight Test Center at the Edwards Air Force Base.
