Alex WoodsMarch 6AerothermodynamicsGroupForce Results for Current Models
Normal Force • Model scales Normal force with both Mach Number and Angle of Attack Inputs • Pitching Moment and Axial Force (Drag) vary similarly • Center of Pressure at α = 0 is at roughly 39% of the length from the nosetip, for all three cases Figure by Alex Woods and Jayme Zott
Structural Forces • Shear Forces are less than expected using the current model • For all models, transonic values are at best a guess, due to model inadequacy Figure by Alex Woods and Jayme Zott
