Aircraft directional stability and control are related to vertical tail design. The safety,
performance, and flight qualities of an aircraft also depend on a correct empennage sizing …

This paper aims to provide some guidelines in the aerodynamic design and optimization of
future regional turboprop aircraft with about 90 passengers. Currently there are no …

A reliable estimation of the aerodynamics of the fuselage of an airplane is crucial in order to
carry out a well-designed aircraft. About 30% of an aircraft zero-lift drag source is due to the …

The paper presents a deep investigation on the aerodynamics of the vertical tailplane and
the correct estimation of its contribution to aircraft directional stability and control, especially …

This work investigates the aerodynamic interference among airplane components caused by
rudder deflection for a typical turboprop aircraft geometry through the computational fluid …

Since 2011 the aerodynamic research group of the Dept. of Industrial Engineering of the
University of Naples" Federico II" makes use of the University's computing grid infrastructure …

The paper presents wind-tunnel tests and CFD numerical aerodynamic analysis of Tecnam
P2012 Traveller aircraft. An extensive wind tunnel tests campaign of several different …

High-lift configuration aerodynamics are evaluated through different theoretical and
numerical setups with CFD++ tool. Meshes are constructed with y+≈ 1 for typical …
