The application of the FLEXSTAB system to analyze airplane configurations is explained with examples of demonstration cases: Dart Model I, Dart Model II, the Boeing 707-320B, the Boeing 2707-300PT(SST), and the Lockheed YF-12A. The Dart Models I and II are two very simple configurations used to illustrate the program input and usage. The modeling and the preparation of input data for the 707, SST and YF-12A configurations is discussed, and the selected results are presented in a tabular form. A comparison of results with other sources is included for the 707 and SST models. In addition, a comparison of the FLEXSTAB results for pressure and force distribution with the experimental results for an arrow-wing configuration (obtained under NASA Contract NASI-12875) are included.
