Keywords: low speed buffet boundaries

Low speed buffet boundary flight testing of a highly swept-wing high-speed business jet has been conducted. The types of buffet onset manoeuvres included straight 1g flight, straight stalling manoeuvres of 0.75 knot/sec deceleration, low-angle of bank turns, steep turns and rapid pitch-up manoeuvres. In each case, the aerodynamic coefficient characteristics of buffet onset have been analysed.
