DAF research group is involved in research activities in the context of Flight Physics common area concerning aircraft design and new aircraft configurations and concepts, aerodynamic design of aeronautical components, wind-tunnel aerodynamic tests, flight mechanics and flight dynamics, flight tests and flight simulation. Extensive aircraft design activities have been carried out in collaboration and for well-known companies like Tecnam, ATR, and Alenia. Many softwares have been developed for aircraft design and MDO. The aerodynamic design is based on the use of several tool (some in-house developed) and CFD applications. Considerable experience has been gained on experimental activities such as wind-tunnel tests (more than 20 aircraft model tested in the last 15 years) and general aviation aircraft flight test and flight certification. Flight dynamics and flight simulation are also a relevant research topic and the group contributes to the development of flight simulation tools. For info : (www.daf.unina.it)
