Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft design, and in particular relates to a method for coupling aerodynamic design and verification of an aircraft with large aspect ratio and foldable wings. Background Art

[0002] High aspect ratio foldable wings have excellent lift and lift-to-drag ratio characteristics and are widely used in the aerodynamic shape design of modern aircraft, especially the aerodynamic shape design of subsonic cruise aircraft and the aerodynamic shape design of gliding extended-range aircraft. Before the launch or release of the aircraft, the high aspect ratio foldable wings are in a folded state. After the launch or release, the high aspect ratio foldable wings are quickly unfolded to present a high aspect ratio gliding configuration. Due to space limitations, the relative thickness and plane shape of the high aspect ratio foldable wings are subject to strict constraints. These constraints are contradictory to the requirements of high normal overload capacity, excellent gliding performance, and matching of aircraft stability and maneuverability of the high aspect ratio wings, resulting in a high difficulty in the aerodynamic design of high aspect ratio foldable wing aircraft. At the same time, the success or failure of the aerodynamic design of high aspect ratio foldable wing aircraft must pass a series of evaluation and verification work. Generally, aerodynamic design and verification work are independent and separate. Even if there is a certain degree of coupling between aerodynamic design and verification, the unreasonable order of design and verification sub-items will directly lead to a longer aircraft aerodynamic design cycle, higher costs, or even cause the failure of the design work.
