Abstract:Aiming at improving the range of wingbody combination aircraft at hypersonic flow conditions, the aerodynamic characteristics and wing efficiency of morphing tactical missile with different deformation modes at Mach number from 3 to 8 were studied. The NavierStokes equations were used to simulate the flow field, and the lifttodrag ratio, wing efficiency, stability and controllability of different deformation modes as telescopic, variable sweep and twodimensional folding were compared. Results show that under the condition of supersonic and hypersonic flow, the variable sweep wing mode improves the lifttodrag ratio significantly, and at the same time, it has excellent wing efficiency and stability and controllability. The mode performs best at the Mach number from 3 to 8. The conclusion can offer some valuable guidance to the research and application of hypersonic morphing aircraft aerodynamic configuration.
