TRANSONIC TRUSS-BRACED WING HIGH-SPEED AND LOW-SPEED DESIGN AND TESTS THE SCOPE OF THIS TASK IS TO REFINE THE DESIGN OF A LONG-RANGE CRUISE M=0.8 N+3 TTBW AIRCRAFT WITH HIGH-FIDELITY TOOLS FOR HIGH-SPEED CONDITIONS AND INCORPORATE ANY LESSONS LEARNED FROM RECENT WIND TUNNEL TEST DATA OBTAINED, AND CONDUCT A HIGH-SPEED WIND TUNNEL TEST. DEVELOP THE LOW SPEED HIGH LIFT CONFIGURATION FOR A M=0.8 CONFIGURATION IF OPTIONS ARE EXERCISED. AN ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE IS TO GATHER EXPERIMENTAL DATA FOR THE LOW SPEED CONFIGURATION VIA WIND TUNNEL TEST.TO DEVELOP AN ADVANCED, N+3 LONG-RANGE CRUISE M=0.8 CONVENTIONAL TUBE-AND-WING CONFIGURATION WHICH UTILIZES AN EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF ADVANCED AIRFRAME AND ENGINE TECHNOLOGY AS THE M=0.8 N+3 TRUSS-BRACED WING CONCEPT DESIGN (SCOPE 2.1 - 1. ABOVE).
