Aerodynamic characteristics, the surface pressure distribution and the maximum lift are estimated for the baseline configuration for different Mach numbers and attack angles in subson- ic and supersonic potential flows, using a low-order three-dimensional panel method supported with the semi-empirical formulas of the data compendium (DATCOM). Total nose-up and nose-down pitching moments about the center of gravity of the complete aircraft in the subsonic region depending on flight conditions and aircraft performance limitations are estimated. A software package is developed to implement the two-dimensional thrust vectoring flight control technique (pitch vectoring up and down) controlled by the advanced aerodynamic and control surface (the foreplane or the canard). Results show that the canard with the thrust vectoring produces enough nose-down moment and can support the stabilizer at high maneuvers. The suggested surface can increase the aerodynamic efficiency (lift-to-drag ratio) of the baseline configuration by 5%-6% in subsonic and supersonic flight regimes.展开更多
