Requirements of modern fighters to operate with high maneuverability in the transonic speed regime may, under certain conditions, lead to limit cycle oscillations (LCO), produced by a structural/aerodynamic interaction. Conditions of transonic LCO are moderate angle of attack and Mach numbers ranging from 0.9 to 1.1. Analysis of steady wind tunnel data, obtained for a fighter-type in a typical configuration, indicated that shock-induced separation plays a dominant role. A semi-empirical prediction method is presented which makes use of these steady data, and some results are shown. Possibilities are discussed to extend the method to the use of unsteady wind tunnel data.
