Information Technology for Determining the Flight Performance of a Paraglider Wing
摘要
The article describes the main features of the use of IT in the development of paragliders that allows, on the basis of a geometric model of a paraglider, to determine its main aerodynamic parameters, and flight simulation using certain aerodynamic parameters. The classification of paragliders is considered (basic types, types and classes). The necessity of automating the design of paragliders is substantiated. An overview of automated paraglider design systems is given, their main advantages and disadvantages are described. The main attention is focused on the problems of aerodynamic design and analysis. The analysis of the reliability of the calculated aerodynamic data is provided.
