A Comparative Study of the Low Speed Performance of Two Fixed Planforms versus a Variable Geometry Planform for a Supersonic Business Jet
<p>A numerical investigation of the effects of high lift devices on the low-speed performance of a generic swept wing and a delta wing was conducted. The two fixed planforms were initially sized to achieve the same high speed performance as the baseline variable geometry wing. Following a review of …

Shock oscillation mechanisms of highly separated transitional shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions
In business jet and defence applications, cruise altitudes typically range from 15 to 16 km, significantly higher than the 10 to 13 km common for commercial aircraft. At these higher altitudes, the atmosphere is quieter, air density is lower, and engine sizes are smaller than those of commercial …

An experimental study of the aft guide vanes of an engine bypass nacelle for low-boom supersonic flight
Due to the large disturbance created by the sonic boom, supersonic flight is strictly controlled by the FAA. One way in which to minimize the sonic boom is through shape-tailoring of the aircraft body and of the propulsion system. To this end, a new supersonic engine concept has been proposed, …
