The aerodynamic loads and the maximum lift coefficient of the complete aircraft configuration （fuselage＋wing＋tail） are computed by using the modified three-dimensional low-order panel method in conjunction with the semi-empirical formulas of DATCOM. Results show that the lift coefficient increases approximately 20.5%- 15.3% for Mach number 0. 4-0.8 and 6.8% for Mach number 1.2, and its maximum value approximately 9.5% -15.0% for Machnumber 0.2-0.95when LEXis installed. A 6.6%-8.0 % gain at altitudes of 1-5 km on the turn rate maneuverability and the corner speed have been achieved in the subsonic regime.展开更多
