Abstract

The linear problem of the time-dependent inviscid flow past a thin symmetric airfoil with a control on its trailing edge deflected in accordance with an arbitrary law is considered. The aerodynamic loads on the airfoil are calculated. The intensity of the vortex wake shed from the airfoil is determined by numerically solving a Volterra integral equation of the first kind. Questions of the mathematical modeling of the time-dependent aerodynamic loads in a form convenient for the joint solution of the problems of aerodynamics and flight dynamics are also considered. The results of the modeling are compared with the numerical solutions obtained.
