FAST- Full Airframe Sensing Technology for Hypersonic Aerodynamics Measurements
Abstract
We propose a consortium to develop a new paradigm in aerodynamic sensing - Full Airframe Sensing Technology or FAST -which holds promise for providing novel measurements of the distributed aerodynamic loads over a vehicle during ground or flight test. The FAST concept exploits the fact that the aerodynamic forces acting on the vehicle deform its shape, and thus information about the aerodynamic state is encoded in the shape of the airframe. If the shape or deformation is inferred from a set of distributed sensors, then it is theoretically possible to determine the loads that caused the deformation. We propose an innovative solution to this inverse problem, by which we exploit tools from scientific machine learning to speed up processing.
