This paper describes the preliminary CFD analyses of a ultralight amphibious PrandtlPlane, performed in order to the define the hull configurations to be studied in a subsequent towing tank test campaign. By taking the Italian regulations on ultralight aircraft into account, the effects of the main design parameters on take-off manoeuvre are studied and two hull configurations are defined. Finally, the achieved results are discussed in order to define the scale factor of towing tank test models.

Abstract

This paper describes the preliminary CFD analyses of a ultralight amphibious PrandtlPlane, performed in order to the define the hull configurations to be studied in a subsequent towing tank test campaign. By taking the Italian regulations on ultralight aircraft into account, the effects of the main design parameters on take-off manoeuvre are studied and two hull configurations are defined. Finally, the achieved results are discussed in order to define the scale factor of towing tank test models.
