The objective of this paper is to validate the CIRA flow solver ZEN for the low speed performance computations of Supersonic Commercial Transport high lift configuration. The work is set into the framework of the EU funded research project EPISTLE (European Project for the Improvement of Supersonic Transport Low speed Efficiency). The industrial partners formulated accuracy requirements for the global aerodynamic coefficients. Various incidences have been reviewed from full attached flow to the onset of separation phenomena. Grid dependency and turbulence models effect have been taken into account.
