As an aircraft's fuel is used up, the airplane loses weight,
and that changes how aerodynamic the vehicle is.
During wind tunnel tests last spring, Kota says, the prototype wing
resisted aerodynamic forces more than three times as great as those
expected in flight. As well as providing the aerodynamicist with more
information and understanding than a wind tunnel, CFD allows engineers
to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of new designs without requiring
the time and cost associated with building prototypes or model parts. |
