ESDU 85010:2014

ESDU 85010 discusses the application to the complete aeroplane
of the prediction methods given in the Series for the contributions
to the derivatives from wing planform and dihedral, and empennage.
Illustrations show for diverse configurations at cruise the
relative magnitudes of the contributions for each derivative, and
comparisons with experimental data also show the effect of Mach
number, incidence, wing sweep, and high lift devices. A detailed
comparison of predictions with experimental data drawn from a wide
range of sources including tunnel and flight results shows that the
sideforce derivative is predicted to within 0.06, the yawing moment
derivative to within 0.016, and the rolling moment derivative to
within 10 per cent. A comprehensive worked example shows the
application of the methods. A computer program of the method is
provided as ESDUpac A8510.
