New empennage for aircraft (NEFA)

Objective

NEFA aims at assessing V-empennage type on aircraft in order to validate promising preliminary results. Aerodynamic performance prediction capability will be improved thanks to co-operative use of CFD tools and wind-tunnel tests at low speed with high-lift devices and at transonic speed. Flight mechanics of V-aircraft will be studied with analytical tools derived from those used for conventional empennage aircraft. Flight control laws will be defined and validated in a flight simulator (fixed base). Structural concepts for installation of V-empennage on rear fuselage will be defined and assessed. Finally all models for aerodynamics coefficients and weights assessment will be used along with the drivers for stability and control in order to carry out an homogeneous comparison between conventional tail aircraft and V-tail aircraft.
