    摘要: A method of controlling a magnitude of a sonic boom caused by off-design-condition operation of a supersonic aircraft at supersonic speeds includes, but is not limited to the step of operating the supersonic aircraft at supersonic speeds and at an off-design-condition. The supersonic aircraft has a pair of swept wings having a plurality of composite plies oriented at an angle such that an axis of greatest stiffness is non-parallel with respect to a rear spar of each wing of the pair of swept wings. The method further includes, but is not limited to the step of reducing wing twist caused by operation of the supersonic aircraft at supersonic speeds at the off-design condition with the composite plies. The method still further includes, but is not limited to, minimizing the magnitude of the sonic boom through reduction of wing twist.

    摘要: A method of aircraft fuel distribution includes selecting a longitudinal center of gravity and predicting a rate of change of the center of gravity during flight. Fuel is located in a tail fm tank of a vertical tail fin of the aircraft, and is transferred from the tail fin tank forward at a predetermined transfer rate to counteract the predicted rate of change thereby maintaining the selected center of gravity. An aircraft fuel distribution system includes a center main fuel tank, a tail fin tank and a tail fin fuel pump to pump fuel between the tail fin tank and the center main fuel tank. An electronic controller operates the tail fin fuel pump such that fuel is flowed between the tail fin tank and the center main fuel tank at a predetermined transfer rate to maintain automatically an optimal position of a longitudinal center of gravity of the aircraft.

    摘要: A system for controlling a magnitude of a sonic boom caused by off-design operation of a supersonic aircraft includes a sensor configured to detect a condition of the supersonic aircraft. The system further includes a control surface that is mounted to a wing of the supersonic aircraft. The system still further includes a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor and operatively coupled with the control surface. The processor is configured to (1) receive information from the sensor indicative of the condition of the supersonic aircraft, (2) determine that there is a deviation between a lift distribution and a design-condition lift distribution based on the information, and (3) control the control surface to move in a manner that reduces the deviation. The magnitude of the sonic boom is reduced when the deviation is reduced.

    摘要: On failure, a burst rotor of a wing-mounted engine (13, 23) can penetrate fuel tank walls in the wing of an aircraft. There exists a zone that is at risk of such damage. The layout of fuel tanks (3, 11C, 21C) in the wing of an aircraft in accordance with this invention includes port and starboard inner fuel tanks (11C, 21C) that are positioned adjacent to a central fuel tank (3) in the central wing section, but outside of the at-risk zone. Each of the port and starboard inner fuel tanks (11C, 21C) is defined in part by a respective inner boundary member (5RP, 5RS) that when viewed in plan extends, at least in part, in a direction at an angle of less than 20° to the adjacent vertical plane (A-A) defining the at-risk zone. Thus the amount of fuel stored in fuel tanks (11C, 21C) in the wing assembly that cover a region outside of the at-risk zone and that do not extend into the at-risk zone may be increased.
