Abstract
An analytical method using well‐tried potential flow techniques has been developed to analyze the aerodynamic flow field on and about aircraft configurations. To simplify the use of the techniques, a computer aided method to generate analytical models of aircraft configurations has been developed. The method has demonstrated good correlation with experimental data and its potential for being a beneficial design tool. In addition, the computer modeling technique developed reduces user responsibility while accurately modeling the configuration analyzed.Keywords
