DESCRIPTION:Due to the long service life of modern aeroplanes\, operators 
 often want to modify the basic airframe in order that it can undertake dif
 ferent tasks.\n\nIn many cases these tasks require the addition of new avi
 onic capabilities\, such as RADAR\, mounted on the outside of the original
  airframe in “blister” structures. The shapes of these structures are 
 normally restricted by their contents\, rather than by their aerodynamic c
 onsiderations. Therefore\, investigations have to be undertaken to identif
 y any potential unstable flow phenomena that could cause unwanted effects 
 to the performance or handling of the aeroplane.\n\nThis presentation deta
 ils such an investigation where blister fairings will be added to an exist
 ing aircraft in order to extend its operational capabilities. By using the
  results from specific wind tunnel experiments in the Cambridge University
  Engineering Department (CUED)\, critical flow characteristics identified 
 through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) from the sponsoring company\, c
 ould be corroborated.\n
LOCATION:LR3B\, Inglis Building\, CUED.
