Abstract
AbstractThis paper embraces result of wind tunnel tests of a rocket plane designed to space tourism application. The rocket plane is designed in a tailless configuration with a leading edge extension (LEX) and side plates on the wing’s tip which work as all moving tail. Usually for such a concept of control, movable surfaces are position in a horizontal direction while in the considered concept there is no classical rudder, and the movable surfaces are mounted with a significant dihedral angle. The research was carried out in the subsonic closed circuit wind tunnel with an open test section. Moreover, MGAERO and PANUKL package were used for numerical computations. The first research question is to investigate how the configuration of the side plate affects the directional stability of the rocket plane. The second aim is to study the efficiency of the side plates deflected like an all moving tail for both low and high angles of attack. As a result of this investigation, the directional stability derivatives and the control derivatives were obtained. Finally, the experimental results were compared with numerical outcomes to establish does software with no full flow model can be applicable for design an aircraft with all moving tail in case of low of angles of attack.
