The Future of Aerodynamics Design:Virtual Validation

August, 2021

As the trend toward fifth-generation technology accelerates, aerodynamics and virtual validation are becoming increasingly crucial for combat aircraft. Virtual validation for aerodynamics would give rich insights to designers in areas like as stealth features, surfaces for lowering Frontal Radar Cross Section (RCS) requirements, and the design of complicated air intakes for the fifth generation.

As we piece together the future, we anticipate a convergence toward zero-emission flights and other propulsion alternatives, including hybridization. On the commercial aircraft side, virtual validation in aerodynamics is becoming increasingly important as engineers strive to design more efficient wings with wingtips, smoother nacelle front ends, and airframe noise reducers as structural alternatives. On the defense application front, we can readily judge the utility of virtual validation because the drive is more towards multi-role, Fifth Generation, and studies that go beyond diverse propulsion choices, not excluding scramjets.
