Cover Story: The request for faster and greener civil aviation is urging the worldwide scientific community and aerospace industry to develop a new generation of supersonic aircraft. A key aspect is the aerodynamic efficiency and its impact on the real mission. This paper discloses increasing-fidelity aerodynamic modeling to improve the conceptual design of high-speed vehicles. The methodology foresees the development of aerodynamic aero-databases using incremental steps, from simplified methods to very reliable data based on high-fidelity CFD simulations. The multi-fidelity approach supports the aircraft design process at different stages of its design cycle. At each step, a detailed mission analysis is performed, including stability, trimability, and maneuverability analyses. View this paper
