These proceedings consist of the unclassified papers that were presented at the AGARD Multi-Panel Symposium on Fighter Aircraft Design. The classified papers are published as a supplement to this document. The basic theme of the symposium was to review what had been learned from the current fighter aircraft and to explore what technology promised for the future, in relation to the likely requirements. The design of future fighters was discussed in these contexts, emphasizing the defeat of the anticipated threats with minimum life cycle cost. All the major aspects of fighter design were covered with sessions on systems design, aerodynamics and configurations, propulsion, structures and materials, avionics and guidance, and human factors. The recommendations arising from this symposium are discussed in a Technical Evaluation Report, AGARD Advisory Report Number 114. (Author)
