In order to predict the behaviour of airfoil sections in upper subsonic and supersonic regions, compressible flow equations are required. 6.6.1 Basic definitions M Mach number M ∞ Free stream Mach number M c Critical Mach number, i.e. the value of which results in flow of M ∞ = 1 at some location on the airfoil surface. Figure 6.6 shows approximate forms of the pressure distribution on a two-dimensional airfoil around the critical region. Owing to the complex non-linear form of the equations of motion which describe high speed flow, two popular simplifica- tions are used: the small perturbation approxima- tion and the so-called exact approximation. 6.6.2 Supersonic effects on drag In the supersonic region, induced drag (due to lift) increases in relation to the parameter ͙ M 2 – 1 ෆ function of the plan form geometry of the wing. 6.6.3 Supersonic effects on aerodynamic centre Figure 6.7 shows the location of wing aerody- namic centre for several values of tip chord/root chord ratio ( ␥ ). These are empirically based results which can be used as a ‘rule of thumb’. 103 0 Basic aerodynamics M1 (local) M ∞ > M crit M ∞ > M crit –1.2 –0.8 –0.4 –C –C p p 0.4 0.8 1.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 x/c x/c M ∞ >> M crit Supersonic regions –0.8 –0.4 –1.2 –C p 0 0.4 0.8 1.2 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 x/c Fig. 6.6 Variation of pressure deterioration (2-D airfoil) 6.7 Wing loading: semi-ellipse assumption The simplest general loading condition assump- tion for symmetric flight is that of the semi- ellipse.

V Section 7 Principles of flight dynamics 7.1 Flight dynamics – conceptual breakdown Flight dynamics is a multi-disciplinary subject consisting of a framework of fundamental mathematical and physical relationships. Figure 7.1 shows a conceptual breakdown of the subject relationships. A central tenet of the framework are the equations of motion, which provide a mathematical description of the physical response of an aircraft to its controls. 7.2 Axes notation Motions can only be properly described in relation to a chosen system of axes. Two of the most common systems are earth axes and aircraft body axes. The equations of motion and handling properties Aerodynamic characteristics Common aerodynamic parameters Stability and control derivatives Stability and control parameters Aircraft flying of the airframe Fig. 7.1 Flight dynamics – the conceptual breakdown 107 Principles of flight dynamics Conventional earth axes are used as a reference frame for ‘short-term’ aircraft motion. S N y 0 z 0 o 0 x 0 y E z E x E o E • The horizontal plane o E , x E , y E , lies parallel to the plane o 0 , x 0 , y 0 , on the earth’s surface. • The axis o E , z E , points vertically downwards. Fig. 7.2 Conventional earth axes 7.2.1 Earth axes Aircraft motion is measured with reference to a fixed earth framework (see Figure 7.2). The system assumes that the earth is flat, an assump- tion which is adequate for short distance flights. 7.2.2 Aircraft body axes Aircraft motion is measured with reference to an orthogonal axes system (Ox b , y b , z b ) fixed on the aircraft, i.e. the axes move as the aircraft moves (see Figure 7.3). 7.2.3 Wind or ‘stability’ axes This is similar to section 7.2.2 in that the axes system is fixed in the aircraft, but with the Ox- axis orientated parallel to the velocity vector V 0 (see Figure 7.3). 7.2.4 Motion variables The important motion and ‘perturbation’ variables are force, moment, linear velocity, angular velocity and attitude. Figure 7.4 and Table 7.1 show the common notation used. 7.2.5 Axes transformation It is possible to connect between axes refer- ences: e.g. if Ox 0 , y 0 , z 0 are wind axes and components in body axes and , , are the angles with respect to each other in roll, pitch and yaw, it can be shown that for linear quanti- ties in matrix format: = D Ox 0 Oy 0 Oz 0 Ox 3 Oy 3 Oz 3 108 Aeronautical Engineer’s Data Book x b x w z b z w y b, .y w V 0 Conventional body axis system.

The equations are: 1 a x = U – rV + qW – x(q 2 + r 2 ) + y(pq – r) + z(pr + q) 1 a y = V – pW + rU + x(pq + r) – y(p 2 + r 2 ) + x(qr – p) 1 a z = W – qU + pV = x(pr – q) + y(qr + p) – z(p 2 + q 2 ) 1 1 where: a 1 x , a y , a are vertical acceleration z components of a point p(x, y, z) in the rigid aircraft. U, V, W are components of velocity along the axes Ox, Oy, Oz. p, q, r are components of angular velocity. 7.3.2 Generalized force equations The generalized force equations of a rigid body (describing the motion of its centre of gravity) are: m(U – rV + qW) = X where m is m(V – pW + rU) = Y the total mass m(W – qU + pV) = Z of the body 7.4 The generalized moment equations A consideration of moments of forces acting at a point p(x, y, z) in a rigid body can be expressed as follows: и и и 111 Principles of flight dynamics Moments of inertia I x = ∑ ␦ m(y 2 + z 2 ) Moment of inertia about Ox axis I I = ∑ ␦ m(x 2 + z 2 ) Moment of inertia about Oy axis z = ∑ ␦ m(x 2 + y 2 ) Moment of inertia about Oz axis I y I = ∑ ␦ m xy Product of inertia about Ox and Oy axes xz = ∑ ␦ m xz Product of inertia about Ox and Oz axes I = ∑ ␦ m yz Product of inertia about xy yz Oy and Oz axes The simplified moment equations become I x p и – (I y – I z ) qr – I xz (pq + r и ) = L 2 I y q и – (I x – I z ) pr – I xz (p – r 2 ) = M I z r и – (I x – I y ) pq – I xz (qr + p и ) = N 7.5 Non-linear equations of motion The generalized motion of an aircraft can be expressed by the following set of non-linear equations of motion: m(U – rV + qW) = X a + X g + X c + X + X dp m(V – pW + rU) = Y a + Y + Y c + Y p + Y dg m(W – qU + pV) = Z a + Z g + Z c + Z + Z dp I x p и – (I y – I x ) qr – I xz (pq + r и ) = L a + L g + L c + L p + L d 2 I M I y q и + (I x – I z ) pr + I xz (p – r 2 ) = M a + M g + c + M p + M d z r и – (I x – I y ) pq + I xz (qr – p и ) = N a + N + g N c + N p + N d 7.6 The linearized equations of motion In order to use them for practical analysis, the equations of motions are expressed in their linearized form by using the assumption that all perturbations of an aircraft are small, and about the ‘steady trim’ condition.
