The F-15 fighter aircraft was modeled using Computational Aeroelasticity Program - Transonic Small Disturbance (CAP-TSD). The complete aircraft was modeled including the wing, stabilator, flow through inlets, and fuselage body. CAP-TSD was used to make static pressure runs for Mach numbers of 0.8, 0.9, 0.95 and 1.2. The angle of attack for these runs ranged from 0 to 5 degrees. The CAP-TSD program showed good agreement between the computed fuselage and wing pressures and the measured wind tunnel pressures. Including the fuselage and inlets in the CAP-TSD analysis is important and improves the correlation of wing pressures with test data.
