In order to design a fixed wing aircraft, certain phases are needed to perform. From these phases, trim analysis and simulation are very crucial for design process. Trim and simulation analysis enable to calculate performance and stability characteristics of the aircraft. After aerodynamic, weight and engine database creation, the next step is trim analysis and simulations. However, database creation phase requires a huge amount of computing time, and for the preliminary design phase it is needed to perform quick analysis to optimize the geometry according to customer requirements. In this study a generic trim analysis and simulation algorithm will be studied without needing to create overall aerodynamic database.

Static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis of a very light Aircraft Demirer, Halime Gül; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-9-10) Aircraft design processes need to ensure that the aircraft is aeroelastically stable within its operational envelope. This thesis presents an overview of the static aeroelastic, flutter and gust response analysis of a very light aircraft. MSC.FlightLoads and MSC.Nastran are used for aeroelastic modeling and analysis. The methods to be used in the aeroelastic analysis of the VLA are tested on the AGARD 445.6 wing, and the results are in good agreement with the literature. Aeroelastic model corrections such a...
External geometry and flight performance optimization of turbojet propelled air to ground missiles Dede, Emre; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) The primary goal for the conceptual design phase of a generic air-to-ground missile is to reach an optimal external configuration which satisfies the flight performance requirements such as flight range and time, launch mass, stability, control effectiveness as well as geometric constraints imposed by the designer. This activity is quite laborious and requires the examination and selection among huge numbers of design alternatives. This thesis is mainly focused on multi objective optimization techniques for...
Aerodynamic design and performance analyses of grid fin in supersonic flow using design of experiments and computational fluid dynamics Dinçer, Erdem; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2) Control surfaces are key components of missile aerodynamic performance that can create the necessary forces and moments to make maneuvers. Grid fins are unconventional control surfaces used for aerodynamic control of missiles. In this thesis, parametric design of grid fin is performed in terms of aerodynamic performance using Design of Experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics. The 3-D, steady-state, compressible, viscous flow CFD simulations are performed for the complex grid fin geometries in supersoni...
FREQUENCY-DOMAIN SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION OF F-16 LONGITUDINAL DYNAMICS Ergazi, Nazife Ege; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Gürsoy, Gönenç; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-3-10) The longitudinal dynamics of F-16 aircraft in a level trim, unaccelerated flight are identified using frequency-domain system identification techniques. The nonlinear system is excited by sine sweep elevator input, and angle of attack and pitch rate responses are collected. Detrending and windowing are applied to time-domain data and are converted to the frequency-domain by applying Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The smooth spectral estimates are found from the transformed data, allowing frequency responses ...
ADJOINT-BASED AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A STRAKE-DELTA WING CONFIGURATION Yutük, Kaan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-11-8) Modern fighter aircraft compulsorily demand high maneuverability capability, which is mainly provided by an improved aerodynamic performance at high angles of attack. This is achieved by mostly employing strakes and canards. In this study, adjoint-based configuration and leading edge shape optimizations of a strake on a double-delta wing configuration are performed. SU2 is employed for flow and adjoint solutions. SU2 flow solutions are first verified on solutions for adaptive grids. In the configuration opt...
