Aircraft Drag And Thrust Analysis

Obiettivo



Objectives and content
The industrial need for the proposed research in AIRDATA
arises from the fact that the European aircraft industry
demands new technologies to achieve high aerodynamic
efficiency and low fuel consumption for future aircraft.
One of the key aerodynamic technologies, for example
demanded by Airbus industries for the future A3XX-100 and
A3XX-200 aircraft projects, is engine/airframe
integration. The concept of new propulsion systems aims
at a higher total efficiency than the present-day
turbofan (TE;) engines. The greatest potential for
improving the total efficiency of engines is increasing
the fan by-pass ratio. This has led or will lead to the
categories of Very High Bypass Ratio engines (VHBR), with
by-pass ratios up to 9, and Ultra High Bypass Ratio
engines (UHBR), with by-pass ratios of 10 to 15.
Uninstalled VHBR/UHBR engines accomplish about 10% to 15%
fuel savings over that of conventional TF engines.
Currently ongoing research activities on this topic,
whether on a European level (e.g. ENIFAIR) or on a
national level, are insufficient. New research
initiatives are needed to achieve this higher level of
technology demanded by industry to launch new competitive
aircraft.
The industrial objective of AIRDATA is to develop,
evaluate, and validate CFD-based methods, which are
capable of predicting the aerodynamic interference
associated with engine/airframe integration. AIRDATA is
targeted to first time right aerodynamic design
procedures for future aircraft projects. This overall
industrial objective can be broken down into the
following technical, sub-objectives:
Improved flow modelling for thrust/drag analysis,
including CFD validation through comparison with ENIFAIR
wind tunnel data for models with turbine powered
simulators (TPS).
Demonstrate CFD grid optimisation, adaptation, and
extrapolation for engine/airframe integration.
Develop drag breakdown diagnostics capabilities to
achieve the higher level of technology as demanded for
future aircraft.
Provide new knowledge on thrust, drag, and drag
breakdown data for the ENIFAIR configurations at various
power settings, engine positions, and Mach numbers.
The expected achievements of the AIRDATA research include
optimal engine/airframe integration capabilities. These
new capabilities will allow the European aircraft
industry to fully optimise the aerodynamic performance of
new aircraft, yielding benefits in terms of increased
aerodynamic efficiency in combination with new, low fuel
consumption, engines.
AIRDATA is an initiative of a number of ENIFAIR partners
forming a new consortium. The AIRDATA consortium
consists of eight partners from three research
establishments (NLR, DLR, CIRA), three
airframe/engine/nacelle industries (BAe, Rolls-Royce,
Hurel-Dubois), one engineering company (Analytical
Systems Research), and one university (University of
Naples).
