Abstract:
An aerodynamic design system for designing aircrafts with tilting wing configurations in a workstation, comprising;a processor circuit having a processor and a memory; aerodynamic design logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor, the aerodynamic design logic comprising: logic that consists of inter-related calculations of thrust, normal force, axial force, pitching moment, trim, and flight path angles as functions of airspeed and tilt angle of the wing, wherein the logic further calculates a number of aerodynamic design parameters for a conceptual computer model; and logic that generates an aerodynamic design report for assisting in the design of a tilting wing aircraft to be sent to a client via a network, the aerodynamic design report listing at least one of the aerodynamic design parameters.
