Features: The high performance requirements of modern aircraft present new challenges to aerodynamics, demanding new ideas and concepts in aerodynamic design, as well as their implementation in engineering applications. The design of aerodynamic shapes plays a crucial role in determining the performance of aircraft. This book briefly discusses the latest achievements in aerodynamic research and new concepts applied to aerodynamic shape design, tailored to the characteristics of two types of aircraft: fighter jets and commercial aircraft. For fighter jet design, it explores how unsteady high-angle-of-attack aerodynamics and vector thrust technology can be applied to layout design. For commercial aircraft design, it addresses how to achieve lift augmentation and drag reduction to improve aircraft performance. The book highlights the role and significance of numerical simulation in modern aircraft design. It can serve as a textbook and reference for teachers, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students, as well as for designers and researchers.
