Aeroelastic Analysis of the CAWAPI F-16XL Configuration at Transonic Speeds

This article present an aeroelastic study of CAWAPI F-16XL aircraft. The structural model for this aircraft is publicly available and is therefore replaced by a structural model estimate which is constructed based on data available in public literature. The aeroelastic solution is done using inviscid solution for two flight conditions - FC70 and FC79. The primary task is to assess importance of the aeroelastic effects on the solution and to asses weather large discrepancies observed at flight condition FC70 between the computational and experimental data.
