The state of the art in aeronautical engineering has been
continually accelerated by the development of advanced analysis and
design tools. Used in the early design stages for aircraft and
spacecraft, these methods have provided a fundamental understanding
of physical phenomena and enabled designers to predict and analyze
critical characteristics of new vehicles, including the capability
to control or modify unsatisfactory behavior. For example, the
relatively recent emergence and routine use of extremely powerful
digital computer hardware and software has had a major impact on
design capabilities and procedures. Sophisticated new airflow
measurement and visualization systems permit the analyst to conduct
micro- and macro-studies of properties within flow fields on and
off the surfaces of models in advanced wind tunnels. Trade studies
of the most efficient geometrical shapes for aircraft can be
conducted with blazing speed within a broad scope of integrated
technical disciplines, and the use of sophisticated piloted
simulators in the vehicle development process permits the most
important segment of operations-the human pilot-to make early
assessments of the acceptability of the vehicle for its intended
mission. Knowledgeable applications of these tools of the trade
dramatically reduce risk and redesign, and increase the
marketability and safety of new aerospace vehicles.
