3 Some History Werner Pfenninger proposes concept by early 195s 1978: AFWAL studies include strut concepts 1996: VPI Starts MDO work under NASA Support 1997: Results look promising Late 1997/early 1998: Internal LaRC study 1998: VPI briefs both Boeing and Lockheed Martin 1998: LMAS contracted by NASA LaRC VPI works as subcontractor to LMAS 1999: Both VPI and LMAS do additional work 1999: NASA/LMAS/VPI Team propose a demonstrator aircraft for the REVCON Program 3
4 Strut-Braced Wing Advantages The strut increases the structural efficiency of the wing Wing t/c reduced without a weight penalty Lower weight and increased span reduce induced drag Reduced t/c allows less sweep without wave drag penalty Parasite drag is reduced via increased laminar flow Un-sweeping the wing reduces cross-flow instability Higher aspect ratio means smaller chords and smaller Re 4
