Aircraft Flight with Folded Wings Explanation

With the release of DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, we’ve observed some confusion and false-assumptions regarding how an aircraft can fly, or even take off, with its wings folded up. The answer: physics.

 

For folded-wing aircraft’s flight characteristics, we conducted calculations for the wings and stabilators in XFLR5 software. The calculations were done using VLM (Vortex Lattice Method) with a non-viscous flow model. The program then determines the characteristics of the linear area of lifting force dependence based on the angle of attack. For horizontal flight, we have the following equation to calculate how the forces are balanced in the vertical plane:

 

ρv2/2 SСL= mg

 

The calculations show us that the folded wing configurations results in a 30% reduction in the coefficient of lift. To compensate for this reduction in horizontal flight lift, we need to either increase the angle of attack by 42% or increase the velocity 19%. Because the folded portion of the aircraft resides behind the center of gravity, a folded wing configuration results in reducing the negative pitching moment, which will also result in a reduced rotation speed at takeoff.

 

Initially, we didn’t take into account the fuselage, stabilators, and flaps lift capabilities, which all add to the total lifting force.

 

Unfolded wing

 

Folded wing

 

For an aircraft with non-folded wings and mass of 35,000 pounds and 8 degrees of angle of attack, the velocity to create the lifting force would be 186 knots without taking into account the fuselage, stabilators, and flaps. For an aircraft with folded wings and a mass of 35,000 pounds and 8 degrees of angle of attack, the estimated velocity for creating lift is 222 knots (i.e. 186 +19% = 221,34 knots). In our model, the velocity for a mass of 35,000 pounds and an angle of attack of 8 degrees is 205 knots due to the fuselage, stabilators, and flaps.

Hornet, Persian Gulf Map, and Su-33 Bundle Pack Available Now!

Now available until October 21st, 2018, purchase the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet, the Persian Gulf map, and the Su-33 together for just $89.99! This bundle has an almost $150.00 value.

 

Download now in the DCS e-shop

 

 

The Persian Gulf map was in large part chosen to act as the setting for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet combat operations. Operate from numerous, detailed airfields in the UAE and Oman or from the deck of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Conduct air-to-air and air-to-ground operations over a huge, detailed portion of southern Iran and many of the Persian Gulf islands. New additions coming to the map in time for the pack include the SA-2 and Rapier surface-to-air missile system, the HY-2 Silkworm anti-ship cruise missile, the Aldar Headquarters building, the Sheikh Zayad Grand Mosque, and oil platforms. More map items like new airfields, unique buildings, and weapons will be added after the Pack. The Su-33 adds a great adversary aircraft for the Hornet.

 

This same Bundle Pack is also be available on Steam

 

We are also offering on Steam a bundle of just the Hornet and Persian Gulf Map for just $79!

 

Don’t miss out on this great savings, and experience these three great modules together! Read more about the Hornet, Persian Gulf map, and Su-33 here:

 

• DCS: F/A-18C Hornet
  
• DCS: Persian Gulf Map
  
• Su-33 for DCS World
  

 

Hornet and Persian Gulf Map Discounts Reinstated!

Last week we offered a special deal in which you could get $20 USD off the Hornet if you already own the Persian Gulf Map, or $10 USD off the Persian Gulf Map if you own the Hornet. We are listening, and due to popular request, we are re-instating this deal until 21 October 2018!

 

For those that already own one of these two modules, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to try the other.

Unfortunately, Steam is unable to offer this same deal.

Have fun!

 

Free Weekend Results

This past weekend we ran our first Free Weekend, and we are ecstatic with the great reception! The Free Weekend was a great way for many of you to experience the great quality and value put into the Hornet, Persian Gulf Map, and Su-33, and we hope you’ll consider making a purchase.

 

Given the success of the Free Weekend, we certainly plan to do more of these. It’s a great opportunity for you to try before you buy.

 

Thanks for taking part!

 

DCS World Update

Due to both an Open Beta and Release version of DCS World being released last week to support the Free Weekend, there is no update for this week. However, on 10 October we will release the updated MiG-29 Fulcrum for Flaming Cliffs 3! This will include a Professional Flight Model (PFM), updated cockpit, and several new cockpit system functions. This will be a FREE update for Flaming Cliffs 3 owners! For those that do not own Flaming Cliffs 3, we will also make it available as a separate purchase.

 

Next week will also see new improvements to the Hornet, such as the air-to-air radar performance.

 

DCS: Fw 190 A-8 Coming to DCS World!

Our next warbird coming to DCS World will be the Focke-Wulf 190 A-8 Würger (Strike) of the German Luftwaffe. Designed by Kurt Tank in the 1930s, the Fw 190 was a single seat German fighter powered by a powerful BMW 801 radial engine. When first deployed, it provide largely superior to its main rival: the Spitfire Mk.V. This in turn led to the development of the Spitfire Mk.IX. We look forward to some great online dogfights between the Fw 190 A-8 and the Spitfire Mk.IX!

 

Capable of both aerial and ground attack missions, the A-8 model entered production in February 1944 and included thicker armor and improved engine design. We see the “Butcher Bird” as a great addition to the stable of DCS World War II aircraft and will be a perfect fit for the Normandy map!

 

 

 

 

In parallel, work on the P-47D is progressing well on both art and creating the flight model based on virtual wind tunnel data.

Update DCS 2.5.3.22652 Open Beta changelog

[giaco1]

Aggiornano l' F18C col contagocce….. che tristezza, meno male che fra un po' arriva l'F14B, che avrà più roba del hornet già al day one. Sono passati 5 mesi dall'uscita del 18, a hanno sistemato 4 cagate e aggiunto due missiletti e na bombetta con una busta di plastica dietro che se la setti in FF mode sbaglia anche punto di impatto in CCIP. Sono ridicoli e poco seri!

Buone Svolazzate a tutti

Certo che non si riesce mai ad accontentare tutti eh? Se buttano fuori roba vi lamentate che è buggata, non funge e vi chiedete se le testano per bene prima di buttarle fuori, se rallentano per sistemare quello che è stato buttato fuori, e tutti i mille bug collaterali che son saltati fuori vi lamentate lo stesso. L'F-14 uscirà si con tutte le features ma non so se sarà un bene, si e no ne funzioneranno bene 1/3 secondo me e mi mantengo largo. Cmq ad ognuno le sue opinioni!

[nessuno0505]

In effetti col Viggen sono ancora lì che ci danno e non l'hanno dichiarato ancora out of early access; bene che ci sia già tutto sul Tomcat, ma poi ci sarà da sbuggare della grossa!

scusate la domandona ma: le bk90 sul viggen in MP funzionano regolarmente ora?

Bhò lo ho in hangar ma mai provato sinceramente :music_whistling: ma da qualche commento letto in giro ancora no non funzionano bene.

 

Visto che si parla di bug ma con l'harrier è possibile lanciare bombe con intervallo? Ci sto provando ma vanno tutte assieme, mi sembra di aver letto che ancora non funziona...

[Pelmo]

Con questo ultimo aggiornamento per la versione open beta, ci sono problemi di assegnazione tasti? Perlomeno io ho riscontrato problemi. Si sono assegnati da soli alcuni comandi sulla mia manetta (Warthog). Su tutti i moduli!

In più il mig-29s vola malissimo e rimbalza come una pallina da ping pong sulle piste di atterraggio. Provate la missione veloce del mig29s sulla mappa del golfo!

Si questo aggiornamento mi ha sputtanato le impostazioni delle periferiche.... e non riesco a sistemarle.... boooo

[Viper79]

A me funziona tutto bene come comandi. Il 29 non l'ho ancora provato.

Ho delle righe di comando colorate rosse che non funzionano piu almeno per quanto riguarda l hornet.....

[Mig Fulcrum]

Confermo il problema, si sono mappati da soli dei tasti e non possono essere rimappati come voglio io, dei moduli che ho si salva solo il Mig-21.

[Viper79]

Anche ad uno dei miei ha fatto sta cosa dei comandi, tra l'altro ha l'hornet che sembra imbizzarrito, ha ribindato gli assi mille volte ma come lascia la barra l'aereo si inpenna... a me per fortuna funziona tutto con tutti i moduli.
