Description
Summary:The Bandung Institute of Technology is building a glider called Gajah Layang-1 or commonly called as GL-1 which has been manufactured since 2015. This research analyses the aerodynamics and flight performance of the aircraft by using Advanced Aircraft Analysis software also known as AAA version 3.7. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Data Compendium (DATCOM) are utilised as data entry software. The flying conditions are tested at the speed of 24 m/s and the altitude of 2000 feet above ground level, along with its flying performance that generates aircraft models and graphs of the calculation. Furthermore, this thesis compares the results with similar aircraft data. The research expects to obtain aerodynamic performance and good flight performance from the GL-1 glider, in which further research are expected to develop.
