A preliminary design study has been made to identify the performance advantages obtained when advanced aerodynamic technology aircraft are used to perform subsonic military air missions requiring long range (10 000 nmi) or high endurance (24 hr) with heavy payloads (250 000 lb and 400 000 lb, respectively). The study consisted of two phases; the first included evaluating the performance benefits by individually applying various advanced aerodynamic concepts and recommending areas where additional research and development work are necessary. The second phase included configuring integrated advanced technology aircraft that incorporated the most promising compatible aerodynamic concepts. Comparisons were made with conventional aerodynamic technology configurations designed for similar missions.
