Computations of the aerodynamic characteristics is a necessary stage of development any aircraft. Computed values, such as aerodynamic coefficients and characteristic area could be used in computer simulation of aircraft dynamics and during control system design and tests. There are two ways to determine the aerodynamic characteristics, either by experiment in wind tunnel or by using numerical methods in CAD/CAM systems with CFD applications. This paper describes the process of determination aerodynamic characteristics of a surface-to-air missile, using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. The computed aerodynamic coefficients are presented graphically in the results section.
