Abstract

A comprehensive, cost-effective, and accurate method to develop the aerodynamic database in support of structural certification of a transport-category aircraft modification under the Federal Aviation Administration rules and regulations is presented. Although the method in many respects resembles techniques used by the original equipment manufacturer, the emphasis is on the formulation of a process that is eminently suitable for independent or third-party (nonoriginal equipment manufacturer) aircraft modification work. The method is highly integrated in terms of analytical- and test-model development, and analysis-supported test and posttest analyses. The accuracy of the procedure is validated by full-scale aircraft testing and demonstrates that correlation is achieved in an accurate and conservative manner.
