    Description: Aircraft and helicopter accidents due to severe dynamic wind and turbulence continue to present challenging design problems. The development of the current set of design analysis tools for a aircraft wind and turbulence design began in the 1940's and 1950's. The areas of helicopter dynamic wind and turbulence modeling and vehicle response to severe dynamic wind inputs (microburst type phenomena) during takeoff and landing remain as major unsolved design problems from a lack of both environmental data and computational methodology. The development of helicopter and V/STOL dynamic wind and turbulence response computation methology is reviewed, the current state of the design art in industry is outlined, and comments on design methodology are made which may serve to improve future flight vehicle design.

    Description: Potential improvements in weight and performance of the digital/electric airplane of the 1990s are investigated, using data based on the Integrated Digital/Electric Airplane (IDEA) study, a nine-month investigation of integrated digital/electric concepts. A baseline configuration was compared to these IDEA configurations in terms of economic performance, fuel efficiency, and significant system and aircraft configuration characteristics. The 1990 baseline configuration represents a six to eight percent performance improvement over current technology; however, the IDEA airplane shows an additional three percent improvement in fuel burn performance. This improvement is due to a reduction of over 3000 pounds in systems weight alone.

    Description: The results of the Integrated Digital/Electric Aircraft (IDEA) Study are presented. Airplanes with advanced systems were, defined and evaluated, as a means of identifying potential high payoff research tasks. A baseline airplane was defined for comparison, typical of a 1990's airplane with advanced active controls, propulsion, aerodynamics, and structures technology. Trade studies led to definition of an IDEA airplane, with extensive digital systems and electric secondary power distribution. This airplane showed an improvement of 3% in fuel use and 1.8% in DOC relative to the baseline configuration. An alternate configuration, an advanced technology turboprop, was also evaluated, with greater improvement supported by digital electric systems. Recommended research programs were defined for high risk, high payoff areas appropriate for implementation under NASA leadership.

    Description: An investigation of airframe/propulsion system flowfield coupling has been conducted in the Ames 11-Foot Transonic Wind Tunnel at Mach numbers from 0.40 to 1.40 and at angles-of-attack from -2 to +20 deg. Propulsive flows were simulated by flow-through, jet-effects, and turbo-powered simulators (CMAPS) techniques. The configuration was a 10 percent scale model of a VSTOL canard/wing fighter configuration with twin podded engine nacelles and nonaxisymmetric nozzles. Localized flowfield interactions were present and inlet-nozzle flowfield coupling was identified at supersonic flight conditions. The configuration with simultaneous inlet and nozzle flow simulation (CMAPS) exhibited lower drag supersonically than the flow-through/jet-effects configuration. During this first wind tunnel application of twin simulators in a full aircraft configuration, the CMAPS and control system proved to be a flexible, reliable testing method.
