A group of nearly 100 technical professionals from government, industry, and academia met in Hampton, Virginia on September 23-25, 2003, for a NASA-sponsored symposium on Computational Methods for Stability and Control (COMSAC) to discuss the status, opportunities, and challenges of applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology to current and future issues in the field of aircraft stability and control (S&C). The objectives of the 3-day symposium were to discuss the unique aerodynamic phenomena and issues of S&C, define the current characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of CFD codes, define additional or new code requirements for S&C applications, identify potential approaches to develop validated codes, and discuss the potential contents and funding opportunities for a COMSAC program. The scope of technical discussions covered civil and military aircraft, including commercial transports, business jets, fighter and attack aircraft, military transports, and bombers. Discussions were limited to fixed-wing aircraft.
