AN OVERVIEW OF PRELIMINARY COMPUTATIONAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR THE SEMI-SPAN SUPER-SONIC TRANSPORT (S4T) WIND-TUNNEL MODEL

utter. Abstract: A summary of computational and experimental aeroelastic and aeroservoe- lastic (ASE) results for the Semi-Span Super-Sonic Transport (S4T) wind-tunnel model is presented. A broad range of analyses and multiple ASE wind-tunnel tests of the S4T have been performed in support of the ASE element in the Supersonics Program, part of NASA's Fundamental Aeronautics Program. The computational results to be pre- sented include linear aeroelastic and ASE analyses, nonlinear aeroelastic analyses using an aeroelastic CFD code, and rapid aeroelastic analyses using CFD-based reduced-order models (ROMs). Experimental results from two closed-loop wind-tunnel tests performed at NASA Langley's Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT) will be presented as well.
