Abstract:
Methods are provided for operating an air vehicle having fixed wings. Such methods include the step of providing an operating map of angle of attack associated with the fixed wings with Reynolds number, including conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings and conditions of attached flow over the fixed wings. Such methods also include the step of using the operating map for guidance, causing the air vehicle to operate at least within a low Reynolds numbers range corresponding to the operating map, such as to avoid or minimize risk of causing the air vehicle to operate at conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings.
