The regime of validity of an aerodynamic mathematical model, applicable to describe the nonlinear aerodynamic reactions to a delta wing maneuvering at high angles of attack is investigated. An unsteady vortex-lattice method is used to compute the unsteady flowfields, and thus to evaluate the aerodynamic data required by the model, in terms of specified characteristic motions. Time-histories of the aerodynamic responses to complex motions are generated by means of the model and the evaluated aerodynamic data, and are compared with baseline aerodynamic responses obtained from direct vortex-lattice computations. The validity of the mathematical modeling approach for the maneuvering delta wing is demonstrated by the close agreement of the force and moment responses obtained from the two approaches.
