    摘要: [Object] To realize an improvement in design accuracy and a reduction in design time in a process of matching an equivalent cross-sectional area of a design shape of a supersonic aircraft to a target equivalent cross-sectional area in a sonic boom reduction method based on an equivalent cross-sectional area.
    [Solving Means] The technique includes: setting an initial shape of the airframe and a target equivalent cross-sectional area of the airframe; estimating a near field pressure waveform for the initial shape of the airframe assuming that the supersonic aircraft flies at a cruising speed; evaluating an equivalent cross-sectional area from the estimated near field pressure waveform for the initial shape of the airframe; and setting a Mach plane corresponding to the cruising speed, and setting a design curve on the Mach plane, the design curve corresponding to an initial curve at which the initial shape of the airframe and the Mach plane intersect so that the equivalent cross-sectional area approaches the target equivalent cross-sectional area. Then, the shape of the airframe is designed based on the design curve.

    摘要: A method of reducing low-energy flow in a flight vehicle engine includes an isolator of the engine having a swept-back wedge to improve flow mixing. The wedge includes forward shock-anchoring locations, such as edges or rapidly-curved portions, that anchor oblique shocks in situations where the isolator has sufficient back pressure. The swept-back wedge may also create swept oblique shocks along its length. Boundary layer flow streamlines are diverted running parallel to or parallel but moving outward conically to the swept-wedge leading edge moving outboard and upward. The non-viscous flow outside the boundary layer is processed through the swept-back ramp shock and diverted outboard and upward as well. The outboard aft portion of the wedge at the sidewall intersection may also induce shocks and divert flow near the walls closer toward the walls and upward, and/or improve flow mixing.

    摘要: This invention is focus on how to make a quieter supersonic flight. Several techniques and methods have been crafted to solve the noise problem of the sonic boom. Sonic boom is propagated from aircraft to the ground, so add interference media between them to block the noise wave could reduce the sonic boom level. Using special designed wings could also reduce noise wave. Part of the special wings design is inspired from the bird flock's flight. Using active shock wave to blow away the air at the windward front of the aircraft or using holes at the fuselage bottom to flow away the air underneath the fuselage could reduce the noise wave propagated to travel to the ground.

    摘要: An aircraft portion includes a fuselage oriented in a longitudinal direction, an airfoil made up of at least one pair of wings arranged on either side of the fuselage in a transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and an airfoil-fuselage junction fairing at the interface between the airfoil and the fuselage. The junction fairing has, in a vertical plane, a lower profile and, in a horizontal plane, a horizontal profile at the junction of the outer surface of the junction fairing with the convex side of each wing. The horizontal profile and/or the lower profile successively has, in the longitudinal direction, a convex front segment, a concave intermediate segment, and a convex rear segment.

    摘要: Avionic display systems and methods are provided for generating avionic displays including symbology decreasing the likelihood of boom tolerance threshold exceedance (an overpressure events) due to potential constructive interference between pressure waves occurring during supersonic flight. In various embodiments, the avionic display system includes a display device on which an avionic display is generated. A controller architecture is operably coupled to the display device and configured to determine when there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in a future timeframe due to constructive interference between colliding pressure waves, which are forecast to occur during the impending supersonic flight of one or more A/C. When determining that there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in the future timeframe due to constructive interference between pressure waves, the controller architecture further generates symbology or other graphics on the avionic display indicative of the potential occurrence of the overpressure event.

    摘要: A system for modifying a shock wave formed in a fluid by a body to modify effects of the shock wave on information transferred to or from the body. The system includes an element for heating fluid along a path to form a volume of heated fluid expanding outwardly from the path, the path extending from the body and through the shock wave; an element for transferring the information to or from the body; and an element for timing the transferring of the information relative to the heating of the fluid along the path to modify certain effects of the shock wave on the information.

    摘要: An aerodynamic structure (1) comprising a series of shock bumps (3a, 3b, 3c) extending from its surface. The shock bumps are distributed along a line (7) with a smaller mean angle of sweep than an unperturbed shock (4) which would form adjacent to the surface during transonic movement of the structure in the absence of the shock bumps. Instead of being distributed along the line of the unperturbed shock, the shock bumps are distributed along a line which is less swept than the mean angle of sweep of the unperturbed shock. When the structure is moved at a transonic speed; a shock forms adjacent to its surface and the shock bumps perturb the shock (9) so as to reduce its angle of sweep.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling air vehicle boundary layer airflow are disclosed. Representative methods can include applying electrical energy bursts and/or other energy bursts in nanosecond pulses in the boundary layer along a surface of an air vehicle. In a particular embodiment, electrical energy is discharged into the boundary layer to reduce the tendency for the boundary layer to separate and/or to reduce the tendency for the boundary layer to transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow. Representative actuators discharging the energy can be arranged in a two-dimensional array of individually addressable actuators.
