The DLR Future Fighter Demonstrator is a highly agile, supersonic aircraft. Based on a given conceptual design, this work focuses on the aeroelastic modeling, incl. structures, masses and aerodynamics. With these models, a comprehensive loads analysis is performed. To confirm the results, the aerodynamic panel methods (VLM and Zona51) are compared with higher fidelity results obtained from CFD.
