Computation and comparison of the installation effects of compression pylons for a high wing transportThe three-dimensional transonic Euler method with boundary layer interaction is used to study the flow about a transport aircraft equipped with NASA-developed compression pylons. The results show that the present pylons perform well under the installed conditions, reducing the wing/pylon junction velocities and thus reducing the installed loft loss and drag. The predicted theoretical results are found to agree moderately well with experimental wind tunnel results.
