F-18 Fighter Jet LEX Aerodynamics + Podcast #163
from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics
F 18 fighter jets have LEXs (leading edge extensions). What are their aerodynamics? How do they help the plane fly? What happens when they don't perform as they should? Find out in this podcast! CHECK OUT our new OpenFoam CFD course that covers everything from literally installing it to running your own DES simulations, and everything in between: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ CHECK OUT our new Intermediate CFD course that covers what you need to go into industry and do high quality simulations: https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ Want an easy way to make your experiments 2-4% more accurate?
