Calculation of aerodynamic characteristics at high angles of attack for airplane configurations

The primary objective is to determine how an airplane configuration should be modeled to predict both longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics at high angles of attack. A generic fighter model, an F-16 and an F-18 configuration with leading edge flap deflection and an F-106B configuration were investigated. Furthermore, the F-16XL and X-29 configurations were examined. Some calculated results are given.
