Book excerpt: The Special Course on Fundamentals of fighter Aircraft was sponsored by the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel and the von Kàrmàn Institute and presented at the von Kàrmàn Institute, Rhode-Saint-Genése, Belgium, on 17-21 February 1986, at the Greek Air Force Academy, Athens, Greece on 24-25 February 1986 and at the ARGE, Ankara, Turkey on 27-258 February 1986. -- This Course presented a comprehensive review of fundamental procedures used during a fighter pre-development phase concentrating on -- -basic mission requirements and aircraft sizing, -- -aerodynamic design including performance, stability and control -- -materials, structural optimization and aeroelasticity -- -aircraft dynamics -- -engine intake and nozzle integration -- -airframe store-compatibility -- Experimental and theoretical work has been demonstrated to play complementary roles and recommendations for future development of engineering tools are given in conclusion.
