The effects of protuberances, forward-looking infrared, AAR47 sensor fairing, and refueling boom on V-22 forward ight aerodynamics using computational uid dynamics are investigated. The multizone Navier-Stokes method is applied to the ow over a complete V-22 wing-fuselage-nacelle con guration, with and without external components. The angle of attack varies from 0 to 16 deg in forward ight. A slight increase in drag is found at 0-deg angle of attack for an aircraft con gured with the external units; this effect decreases as the angle of attack increases from zero to moderate values. However, at high angles of attack, the added ow disturbances due to attachments seems to worsen tail buffeting and lift-to-drag ratio. The numerical results are in general agreement with recent ight test data.
