Abstract
The aerodynamic properties of the Savoia Marchetti S55-X model aircraft, in construction by the student team “Team S55”, are studied in order to evaluate its aerodynamic behavior in cruise flight configuration. The Computational Fluid Dynamics software Star CCM+ and ANSA have been used to simulate the model aircraft at various angles of attack, with the objective of studying the lift and drag coefficient changes at every angle. The analyses showed a good consistency with the data previously calculated using semi-empirical formulae and with the original experimental data obtained by testing the S55-X aircraft in the wind tunnel.
