5.7.1 1D flow
A shock wave is a pressure front which travels
at speed through a gas Shock waves cause an increase in pressure, temperature, density and entropy and a decrease in normal velocity Equations of state and equations of conser-vation applied to a unit area of shock wave give (see Figure 5.10):

Basic aerodynamics
6.1 General airfoil theory
When an airfoil is located in an airstream, the flow divides at the leading edge, the stagna tion point The camber of the airfoil section means that the air passing over the top surface has further to travel to reach the trail ing edge than that travelling along the lower surface In accordance with Bernoulli’s equation the higher velocity along the upper airfoil surface results in a lower pressure, producing a lift force The net result of the velocity differences produces an effect equiv alent to that of a parallel air stream and a rotational velocity (‘vortex’) see Figures 6.1 and 6.2
For the case of a theoretical finite airfoil section, the pressure on the upper and lower surface tries to equalize by flowing round the tips This rotation persists downstream of the wing resulting in a long U-shaped vortex (see Figure 6.1) The generation of these vortices needs the input of a continuous supply of energy; the net result being to increase the drag
of the wing, i.e by the addition of so-called
induced drag
6.2 Airfoil coefficients
Lift, drag and moment (L, D, M) acting on an
aircraft wing are expressed by the equations:
U Lift (L) per unit width = C L l 2

2 per unit width
C L , C D and C M are the lift, drag and moment coefficients, respectively Figure 6.3 shows typical values plotted against the angle of attack, or incidence, () The value of C D is
small so a value of 10 C D is often used for the
characteristic curve C L rises towards stall point and then falls off dramatically, as the wing
enters the stalled condition C D rises gradually, increasing dramatically after the stall point Other general relationships are:
• As a rule of thumb, a Reynolds number of
Re 106 is considered a general flight condition
• Maximum C L increases steadily for Reynolds numbers between 105 and 107
• C D decreases rapidly up to Reynolds numbers of about 106, beyond which the rate of change reduces
• Thickness and camber both affect the
maximum C L that can be achieved As a
general rule, C L increases with thickness and then reduces again as the airfoil
becomes even thicker C L generally increases as camber increases The
minimum C D achievable increases fairly steadily with section thickness
6.3 Pressure distributions
The pressure distribution across an airfoil section varies with the angle of attack () Figure 6.4 shows the effect as increases, and
the notation used The pressure coefficient C p
reduces towards the trailing edge

6.4 Aerodynamic centre
The aerodynamic centre (AC) is defined as the point in the section about which the pitching
moment coefficient (C M) is constant, i.e does
not vary with lift coefficient (C L) Its theoreti cal positions are indicated in Table 6.1

where C Ma = pitching moment coefficient at

6.5 Centre of pressure
The centre of pressure (CP) is defined as the point in the section about which there is no pitching moment, i.e the aerodynamic forces
on the entire section can be represented by lift and drag forces acting at this point The CP does not have to lie within the airfoil profile and can change location, depending on the
magnitude of the lift coefficient C L The CP is
conventionally shown at distance kCP back from the section leading edge (see Figure 6.5) Using

6.6 Supersonic conditions
As an aircraft is accelerated to approach super sonic speed the equations of motion which describe the flow change in character 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
Mc 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
M2 – 1function 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’

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

most common systems are earth axes and aircraft body axes

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 V0
(see Figure 7.3)
7.2.4 Motion variables
The important motion and ‘perturbation’ variables are force, moment, linear velocity,
Trang 18angular 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 Ox0, y0, z0 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:
