Investigation in the AT-1 aerodynamic pipe of the influence of domestic aviation equipment impact on the aerodynamic characteristics of a tactical multifunctional aircraft

Abstract

In order to ensure the necessary aviation capabilities of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the urgency of equipping it with a modern multi-functional aircraft using domestically produced air weapons was considered. In Ukraine, domestic enterprises carry out work on the development of aviation weapons of various types and classes. In this regard, the study of the possibility of equipping a tactical multi-functional aircraft with domestically produced air weapons and assessing their impact on the aerodynamic and flight-technical characteristics of a multi-functional aircraft is extremely relevant today. An F-16 aircraft model was developed for the experiment. According to the results of experimental studies in the AT-1 wind tunnel of the aerodynamic complex of the State Research Institute of Aviation of the total aerodynamic characteristics of the F-16 aircraft with domestically produced air defenses, an analysis of their influence on the aerodynamic characteristics in relation to the aircraft without air defenses and with standard weapons was carried out . The reliability of the results obtained during the study of the F-16 aircraft model with aviation means of destruction of the domestic manufacturer in the AT-1 wind tunnel was ensured by observing the parameters of similarity during the experiments and matching the obtained results with known data. Based on the obtained results, further ways of research were determined, namely; the impact of the domestic manufacturer's aircraft weapons on the flight characteristics of the F-16 aircraft (tactical range, range and flight duration).
