Multi-fidelity, Multidisciplinary Analysis of an Efficient Supersonic Air Vehicle

An efficient supersonic air vehicle (ESAV) has been analyzed with a low-fidelity panel and a high-fidelity Euler method to conduct multi-fidelity parameter studies by varying flow conditions and geometric parameters. Flap deflections were also implemented into the high-fidelity model, and were analyzed for force and moment controls on the vehicle. An extensive verification and validation in this paper is laying the foundation for a multi-fidelity, multidisciplinary analysis and optimization of this vehicle in future work.
