An efficient and accurate transonic unsteady aerodynamic method is needed for predicting flight loads, flutter and aeroelastic stability for advanced aircraft. There have been new developments and many improvements to older codes. XTRAN3S was improved and is a useful code for the near term. However, to predict the unsteady aerodynamics for high performance maneuvering aircraft, the Euler/Navier-Stokes codes must be extended and improved for complex 3-D configurations. The long term goal is development of Euler/Navier-Stokes unsteady aerodynamic methods for aeroelastic analysis.
