EVALUATION OF STALL BEHAVIOUR OF T-TAIL AIRCRAFT: MODELLING AND FLIGHT TEST

M. Lowenberg¹, D. Pusztai¹; ¹University of Bristol, United Kingdom

This paper describes ongoing activity to improve the understanding and modeling of flight mechanics in the stall region for T-tailed aircraft. It is based on wind tunnel and free-flight tests of the NASA GTT, as well as NASA data for the configuration. This work aims to inform the challenge of modeling nonlinear separated flow behaviour by comparing various model responses with flight tests.
