Non-Linear Aerodynamic simulations as a comprehensive component of aircraft program development

继2008年所有积极参与者签署协议后，航空运输业正在发起国际努力，以减少其对环境的影响，目标是到2020年减少80%的NOx和50%的二氧化碳排放。空气动力学的改进，例如通过层流控制或新的飞机构型概念带来的改进，正被视为实现这些目标的潜在技术(如果不是必要的话)。虽然正在进行研究以研究具体技术的影响，但有必要在飞机总体设计的背景下进一步开展空气动力学分析，即必须评估这些新技术相对于飞行器的空气动力学影响，例如制造影响或认证要求。

The air transport industry is launching international efforts towards reducing its environmental impact, following the 2008 accord signed by all active players with goals of reducing by 80% NOx and by 50% CO2 emissions by 2020. Aerodynamic improvements, such as those brought through laminar flow control or new aircraft configurations concepts, are being viewed as potential if not necessary technologies to achieve these objectives. Whereas research is being conducted to study the impact of specific technologies, there is a need to further develop aerodynamic analysis in the context of overall aircraft design, i.e. where the aerodynamics effects of these new technologies must be assessed vis-à-vis the aircraft as a vehicle, such as manufacturing effects or certification requirements.
