This paper presents an aeroelastic analysis of the Mach 0.8 Transonic Truss-Braced Wing(TTBW) aircraft jig shape using an in-house developed tool based on VSPAERO. A vortex-lattice model of the Mach 0.8 TTBW model is developed, and a transonic and viscous flow correction method is implemented to account for transonic and viscous flow effects. A correction method for the wing-strut interference aerodynamics is developed and applied to the VSPAERO solver. The Galerkin method is used to calculate the geometry deformation under aerodynamic force. The aero-structural analysis solver VSPAERO coupled to the mode shapes computed by NASTRAN using the Galerkin method provides a rapid aircraft aero-structual analysis. A high-fidelity CFD solver FUN3D is used to verify the results. The aeroelastic simulation results show that the aeroelastic lift coefficient is reduced about0.05∼0.07, drag polar is not affected by aeroelasticity, and the pitching moment is reduced about 30% at Mach0.8 and altitude 40,000 ft.
