Title: Aerodynamic analysis of General Aviation airplanes using computational fluid dynamics methods
Abstract: The problems of an aircraft aerodynamic analysis based on the example of Very Light Aeroplanes and Very Light Jet category airplanes have been presented. A numerical calculations using finite volume method implemented in specialized software were performed. A method of preparing a numerical model of an airplane and the aerodynamic analysis methodology have been presented. An influence of an airplane propulsion on aerodynamic characteristics have been analyzed. A results have been shown in the graphs form of aerodynamic force and moment components as function of angle of attack.
