Introduction to Combat Aircraft Performance
10 December 2024
Overview and General Information:
Modern combat aircraft design is governed by a careful balance of aerodynamic and propulsion performance, which are pushed to the limit. The blending of different specifications, often in opposition, is one of the most complex tasks in Aeronautical Engineering, especially with the requirement to integrate the now mandatory requirements of signature reduction requirements. Attendees will learn to quantify combat aircraft performance, and how different machines can be compared and relatively classified as superior/inferior. The short course will also explore common airframe solutions to achieve specific performances.
Learning Objectives:
- Kinematics performance analysis.
- Energy Manoeuvrability and Specific Excess Power theories.
- Tactical engagements analysis (Within Visual Range Engagemets).
- Introduction to combat aircraft aerodynamics.
Target audience
Doctoral and post-graduate students, aerospace and defence industry professionals, and military officers.
