Aerodynamic Analysis of Sideslip Angle Sensor Layout Design on Civil Aircraft

Abstract

Abstract The sideslip angle of the aircraft holds great significance for the flight control and navigation system, as it directly affects the precision of controlling the aircraft’s attitude and position. This article primarily focuses on elucidating the utilization of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the layout design of the sideslip angle sensor. Through CFD analysis, the velocity field surrounding the fuselage is thoroughly examined. By integrating the specific features and principles guiding the design of the sideslip angle sensor, the most optimal positioning for the sensor can be determined.
