JA5 Canard Aircraft Aerodynamic Analysis
The images below depict results of aerodynamic analysis of the JA5. This aerodynamic analysis was used to calculate stability characteristics and aircraft performance and to generate loads models for structural analysis. This analysis was used iteratively during the design process to produce the final configuration.
