Unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) automated refueling simulation : development delivery order 0009.

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted in the Langley Full Scale Tunnel (LFST) to collect the data necessary to model the effects of the wake of a KC-135 tanker on the aerodynamics of a similar scale UCAV-like aircraft (ICE101 configuration) in a refueling scenario. The primary efforts of this task were to measure the aerodynamic forces and moments on the ICE101 model in the presence of the KC-135 wake and then create aerodynamic increments for use in taking and formation simulation. A secondary undertaking was to conduct a flow survey behind the KC-135 model to quantify its wake characteristics.
