Innovative Aerodynamic Modeling for Aeroservoelastic Analysis and Design, Phase I
Project Introduction
We propose the development of a modern panel code for calculation of steady and unsteady aerodynamic loads needed for dynamic servoelastic (DSE) analysis of flight vehicles. The code will be especially tailored to be robust, reliable, and integrated with the NASA Object Oriented Optimization (O3) system through selection of analysis methods, file formats, and computing environment, allowing it to be efficiently applied to numerous problems of interest to NASA and industry.

Anticipated Benefits
Potential NASA Commercial Applications: Potential NASA applications will include the use of the developed technology for design of any new generation aircraft or RLV system including complex and novel configurations such as blended wing-bodies, truss-braced wing configurations, low-boom supersonic configurations, etc.
