CFSE editorial summary

This AIAA paper records a Swiss–Finnish collaboration on aeroelastic simulation of the F/A-18. CFSE’s public F/A-18 record describes the related dynamic study: tightly coupled CFD and structural solvers, a linear modal structural model, and vertical-tail buffeting as the problem used to generate aerodynamic component loads.

Practical takeaway

When using coupled simulations to assess aircraft loads, define the flight case, configuration, and structural model so each result stays tied to its modeled conditions.
