Without the traditional fin for yaw control combined with delta wings, a challenging task has been presented to the research community. The NATO research group AVT-201 was formed to meet this challenge and build on previous knowledge gained on the complex vortical flow of rounded leading-edge delta wings. This paper presents two numerical studies made by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and the French Aerospace Lab (ONERA) on traditional trailing-edge control and a more unconventional type of leading-edge flap control. Results from the FOI-developed flow solver Edge, using trailing-edge control, on a low observable 53 deg swept lambda wing model are compared to experimental data. The effect of leading-edge control is investigated by ONERA with a slightly smaller-scaled model, using the in-house code elsA, and validated by experimental data. Additional static and dynamic derivatives are evaluated by ONERA for the clean configuration.Lire moins >
