Analysis of Aerodynamic Layout and Operation Application Trends of Next Generation Large Transportation Aircraft

Abstract

With the increase in demand for long range rapid delivery of heavy equipment and materials such as missile launch vehicles, heavy tanks, and intelligent unmanned clusters, and the gradual maturity of penetrating counterair capabilities such as stealth fighters, long range air to air missiles, and autonomous weapons beyond defense area, the existing conventional large scale military transport aircraft will face great threats in terms of future battlefield requirements and survivability, the range of mobility/refueling/early warning will be severely squeezed.A brief overview of the current status of conventional large scale military transport aircraft is given firstly, then the next generation of large scale military transport aircraft which key technologies are developed by the United States and Russia is introduced.Finally, a brief analysis of aerodynamic layout and operation application trends of next generation large transportation aircraft are presented, and an aerodynamics layout of HWB with TeDP is proposed.
