This abstract includes preliminary information on the computational design and analysis of a flight test article. The flight test aims to experimentally validate the new Crossflow Attenuated Natural Laminar Flow (CATNLF) design method in a flight environment. The CATNLF design method uses geometry shaping to produce specific pressure distributions that enable laminar flow on vehicle components with high sweep and high Reynolds numbers by attenuating the crossflow growth that typically leads to premature transition on such components. The flight test article design is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2019, with model fabrication beginning in early 2020.Design results presented in this abstract are representative of the final test article. The final paper will be updated to include the finalized test article geometry and analysis.
