A three-dimensional panel method was used to compute the aerodynam1c loads on a large-scale, powered w1nd tunnel model. The size of the computation grid was selected such that turnaround t1mes, on present computers, rema1ned satisfactory. Hith this constraint, the STOL aircraft configuration was modeled and the capab1lities and limitations of the pred1ction method were 1nvestigated. After th1S study, a simllar numerical model was established for a forward-swept-wing a1rcraft conf1g-urat10n

The resulting aerodynamic-load predictions are discussed and will be utilized, together w1th the future experimental results, to obtain a broader val1dation of th1S method as well as to reduce the necessary Slze of the matrix of the test parameters.
