Hi All,
I have recently completed a performance and stability analysis of the Falco based on the original construction drawings that are available for down load. I created a model using the nasa vehicle sketch pad and then input this model into a 3D inviscid euler solver to work out the aerodynamic forces and loads. The purpose of this analysis is to serve as a benchmark for results using these methods that i can compare with published performance data. So far the numbers i have calculated compare very well with published performance data for the F8L. I have several more radical concepts/designs of my own i plan to analyse using these methods. Some of the stability analysis was adapted from the well known Roncz spread sheets. Anyway im interested in any ones thoughts/feedback/suggestions...thanks!
