Preliminary Design of a LSA Aircraft Using Wind Tunnel Tests
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents preliminary results concerning the design and aerodynamic calculations of a light sport aircraft (LSA). These were performed for a new lightweight, low cost, low fuel consumption and long-range aircraft. The design process was based on specific software tools as Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA), XFlr 5 aerodynamic and dynamic stability analysis, and Catia design, according to CS-LSA requirements. The calculations were accomplished by a series of tests performed in the wind tunnel in order to assess experimentally the aerodynamic characteristics of the airplane.

Analytical solutions for the temperature field in a 2D incompressible inviscid flow through a channel with walls of solid fuel
A gas (oxidizer) flows between two parallel walls of solid fuel. A combustion is initiated: the solid fuel is vaporized and a diffusive flame occurs. The hot combustion products are submitted both to thermal diffusion an...
