Vertical tail buffeting at high angles of attack is a phenomenon associated with the impact of
vortical flows generated by the aircraft on the fins. This poses a serious problem for both …

Buffeting is an aeroelastic phenomenon which plagues high performance aircraft at high
angles of attack. For the F/A-18 at high angles of attack, vortices emanating from …

INTRODUCTION he vertical tail buffeting is a serious problem that limit the ability of fighter
aircraft to maneuver at high angles of attack. In fighter aircraft, such as the F/A-18, the …

A time-accurate computational analysis of vertical tail buffeting of full F/A-18 aircraft is
conducted at typical flight conditions to identify the buffet characteristics of fighter aircraft …

Buffeting is an aeroelastic phenomenon which plagues high performance aircraft, especially
those with twin vertical tails, at high angles of attack. Previous wind-tunnel and flight tests …

Fighter aircraft have been designed to fly and maneuver at high angles of attack and at high
loading conditions. At these high angles of attack, the flow separates from the sharp leading …

The work is concerned with the computation of F/A-18 vertical tail buffet due to LEX vortex
burst using vortex methods of unsteady flow modelling. It is recognised that prediction of …

Buffeting is an aeroelastic phenomenon occurring at high angles of attack that plagues high
performance aircraft, especially those with twin vertical tails. Previous wind-tunnel and flight …

Pressure distributions were obtained at nearly identical fuselage stations and wing chord
butt lines in flight on the F-18 HARV at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center and in the …

Tail Buffet measurements from the second full-scale FIA-18 wind tunnel test are presented
and compared with small-scale wind tunnel measurements, recent flight test measurements …
