Aerodynamics • Introduction • Prediction is based on WASP configuration A with AR=2.9 • Sref=836ft2 • b=49.22ft
Aerodynamics • Key Features • The increase of CLmax with flap deflection • CLmax of approximately 1.8 • Various optimal AoA’s • Takeoff/Landing • Cruise
Aerodynamics cont’d • Aircraft at sea level • Key Features • Approximate Mach Critical Number of .8 according to Nicolai • Aircraft stays subsonic • Cdo approximately constant at this region • Drag polar of CD=.009+.016CL2 at M=.2
Aerodynamics cont’d • Key Features • Approximate Critical Mach Number of .8 • K (drag due to lift) is also constant in this region • K=K’ + K’’ according to Nicolai, but for our aircraft K=K’
Aerodynamics cont’d • Key Features • Significant increase in drag with flap deflections • Optimal AoA at: • Takeoff/Landing • Cruise
Stability and Control • Outline • Aerodynamic Center and neutral point located 19.01ft. from aft • Cg. at 18.92 ft. from aft • Static Margin = -.004 • Cg travel diagram • Aerodynamic Force diagram • Pitching Moment Curve with Flap Deflections • Trade Studies of control with different wing tips
Stability and Control cont’d • Key Features • SM≈0 • Nose down pitching moment as the flap gets deflected • Need for control surfaces to stabilize the aircraft • What can we do?
Stability and Control Cont’d • The Range of Control from the wing tip 1 • Extreme points occur when the flaps get deflected 60 deg’s • The wing tips help to stabilize the aircraft • The vortex fences creates a nose up pitching moment to stabilize the aircraft
Stability and Control – Trade Studies with Various Wing Tips
Error • Error Analysis is Broken into 3 Main Categories • 5% • 5-10% • 10-15%
5% Error Thrust Data Provided By Aereon
5-10% Error • Aerodynamics • (Agrees with Aereon calculations and Dr. Lang estimations) • Ps calculations • (dependent somewhat upon Thrust data, which is from a reliable source) • Endurance • (also directly dependent on assumed correct data provided to us, as well as reasonably accurate aerodynamic data) • Shear
10-15% Error • Dynamic Lift Calculations • (Difficult to estimate due to unsteady flow conditions and somewhat unknown performance characteristics) • cg characteristics • (due to uncertainties in true, final and required placement of components) • Cost analysis • Inlet and Nozzle effects • (addressed very little due to an assumed 5% installed thrust loss)

Turn Rate Performance Maximum Sustained Turn Rates Sea Level M = 0.2 TR = 31.78 Deg/sec M = 0.6 TR = 10.60 Deg/sec M = 0.18 TR = 35.33 Deg/sec[MAX] 22K ft. M = 0.2 TR = 24.2 Deg/sec M = 0.6 TR = 11.4 Deg/sec M = 0.31 TR = 21.95 Deg/sec[MAX]
Turn Rate Performance Maximum Instantaneous Turn Rates Sea Level M = 0.18 TR = 35.33 Deg/sec (same as for sustained) 22K ft. M = .23 TR = 29.7 deg/sec
Dynamic Lift • Addition of Vorticity and Circulation at a Rate such that Inviscid Effects dominate Viscous Diffusion and Dissipation • Effectively Increases the Stall Angle of Attack, thereby Increasing CLmax and Maximizing Lift.
Dynamic Lift TAKE-OFF IMPLEMENTATION • A/C Accelerates Down the Runway with a Clean Configuration • Quickly reaches Take-Off Velocity Due to Lowered Drag • Just Before Take-Off Velocity is Reached, Flaps are lowered to Max Setting, Vortex Fences are Deployed, and AofA is Quickly Increased
Dynamic Lift LANDING IMPLEMENTATION • Bird-Like Manuever • A/C Approaches Runway/Deck at High Thrust and Negative AofA • One Second Before Ground Contact, Flaps Down, Vortex Fences Up, and AofA Increased to Large Positive Setting • A/C ‘Flares’, Thereby Increasing Drag to Reduce Velocity, and Increasing Lift to Avoid Ground Collision
WASP Analytical Model Settings • Flaps • Max Setting = 20 Degrees • Deployment Rate = 20 Deg/Sec • Vortex Fences • Max Setting = 85 Degrees • Deployment Rate = 85 Deg/Sec • Angle of Attack • Max Setting = 35 Degrees • Deployement Rate = 35 Deg/Sec • Head Wind • 0 ft/sec and 10ft/sec
