Assessment of a Chamberless active HLFC system for the vertical tail plane of a mid-range transport aircraft

Kurzfassung

The objective of this paper is to analyze the system aspects for installation of an active hybrid laminar flow control system with a chamberless suction nose on the leading edge of the vertical tail plane of a mid-range transport aircraft. The inputs from various disciplines which are important from systems perspective are extracted, and the interfaces between various disciplines are drawn. A study is conducted to assess the proposed systems architectures, and a trade-off analysis is subsequently performed.
