TEAM4AIRCRAFT LIFT COEFFICIENT

Lift Coefficient

CL = CL* + CLe*elevator + CL0

Matlab script based on Roskam Vol VI Ch8:

CL = 5.41(rad-1)* + 0.4675(rad-1)*elevator + 0.3086

Predator Codes from AAE 565

CL = 5.473(rad-1)* + 0.454(rad-1)*elevator + 0.3113

Moment Coefficient

CM = CM* + CMe*elevator + CM0

Matlab Script based on Roskam

CM = -2.0496 (rad-1)* + (-0.1771)(rad-1)* elevator + 0.0425

Predator Codes

CM = -2.2682 (rad-1)* + (-1.058)(rad-1)* elevator - 0.2785

TEAM4AIRCRAFT CL AND CM

AAE 565 Predator code similar to Roskam

Roskam uses graphs in his book

Predator has the graphs hard coded into the program

Predator will be more accurate

Update Constraint Diagram

Need Maximum CL for Constraint Diagram

Roskam Code solves for Maximum CL

MAXIMUM LIFT COEFFICIENT

Need section cl along wing span

Increase Angle of Attack and find new section cls

Repeat until the wing begins to Stall

That is the stall angle Integrate section cl’s to find

Maximum CL

AIRCRAFT CL AND CM

Three Major Codes: Predator, CL max, and Constraint Diagram Predator:

Input: Aircraft Geometry Output: CL and CM equations

Maximum Lift Coefficient Input: Main Wing and Horizontal Tail Geometry Output: CL Max and Alpha at CL Max

Constraint Diagram Input: Flight Conditions, CL at 0 Alpha, CL max, Engine Info Output: Wing Area and Required Power

Iterative loop can be used

Used old constraint diagram values for initial guess

Used Wing Area as the Control variable

AIRCRAFT CL AND CM

Lift Coefficient

CL = CL* + CLe*elevator + CL0

CL = 5.931(rad-1)* + 0.59(rad-1)*elevator + 0.2809

Moment Coefficient

CM = CM* + CMe*elevator + CM0

CM = -3.6947(rad-1)* + (-1.058)(rad-1)* elevator -.3956

Reduce CM0 for clean flight

TEAM4

AIRCRAFT CL AND CM

CM0 main contribution is from the Incidence angle of Horizontal Tail (-2.51 degrees)

Using the Iterative Loop, ran over a range of Horizontal Tail Incident angles

Found Incident Angle that reduced CM0 the most

TEAM4

AIRCRAFT CL AND CM Lift Coefficient

CL = CL* + CLe*elevator + CL0

CL = 6.0339(rad-1)* + 0.6201(rad-1)*elevator + 0.4237

Moment Coefficient

CM = CM* + CMe*elevator + CM0

CM = -4.0421(rad-1)* + (-1.058)(rad-1)* elevator + 0.00

Incident Angle=.23 degrees

Does not seem right, may be caused by Downwash from the Main Wing

Questions?

TEAM4

AppendixLift Curve Slope CL = f(CLW, CLHT, HT, w) HT = Ratio of dynamic pressure. Mostly caused by

propeller wash and velocity Downwash, w = Caused by main wing’s vortex flow on tail. Changes effective angle of attack for the tail.

elevatorPositive

Negative

TEAM4AIRCRAFT PARAMETERS Lift Curve Slope for Elevator Deflection

CLe = f(elevator size, horizontal tail planform)

Zero Angle of Attack Lift Coefficient

CL0 = f(CL0W, CL0HT, HT, incident angles)

HT = Ratio of dynamic pressure. Mostly caused by

propeller wash and velocity

Incident angles are for both main wing and

horizontal tail
