The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate that current Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology can compute vortical flows around complete fighter aircraft. As a representative test case, the flow around an F-16-like aircraft is computed at transonic conditions. Pressure distributions over the wing are compared with measured data. The comparison indicates that the complex flow structure above the wing is predicted quite well.
