A multi-zonal, unified, space/time marching method has been used to solve the Euler and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for supersonic flow past an Advanced Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (ASTOVL) aircraft configuration. Lift, drag and pitching moment values obtained from the computations compare well with wind-tunnel measurements. The calculations demonstrate the capability of the method used to accurately predict design parameters such as lift, drag and pitching moment for very complex aircraft configurations.
