Abstract:Supersonic biplanes can achieve low-boom and low-drag supersonic flights. In the present study, aerodynamic analysis of a two-dimensional stagger Bussmann biplane (staggered upper element by 0.5c) at zero degrees angle of attack with trailing edge flap was investigated with the help of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. Due to the wave cancellation effect, the Busemann biplane delivers a positive drag reduction at design supersonic Mach values. However, when operating outside of its intended parameters,… Show more
