Download or read book Adaptive Compliant Wing written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Adaptive Compliant Wing A wing known as an adaptive compliant wing is one that is pliable enough to allow for some features of its form to be altered while the aircraft is in motion. The advantages of having flexible wings are many. The operation of conventional flight control devices often involves the use of hinges, which may result in interruptions to the airflow, vortices, and even, in certain instances, separation of the airflow. These factors add to the drag that the airplane experiences, which in turn leads to decreased efficiency and increased expenses for fuel. Aerofoils that are flexible have the ability to alter aerodynamic forces while causing less disturbances to the flow of air. This results in reduced aerodynamic drag, which leads to increased fuel efficiency.

Download or read book Active Aeroelastic Wing written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Active Aeroelastic Wing The X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) development program is an American research project that has been completed. This project was carried out jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing Phantom Works, and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. At NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, the technology was flight tested on a modified McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. Active Aeroelastic Wing Technology is a technology that blends the aerodynamics, controls, and structure of a wing in order to harness and regulate the aeroelastic twist that a wing experiences under dynamic stresses and high speeds. The use of multiple leading and trailing edge controls, such as "aerodynamic tabs," enables subtle amounts of aeroelastic twist to be controlled to provide large amounts of wing control power, while simultaneously minimizing maneuver air loads under high wing strain conditions or aerodynamic drag under low wing strain conditions. This is accomplished while maintaining a balance between the two extremes of wing strain conditions. This operation served as the very first demonstration of AAW technology on a large scale.

Download or read book Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures SARISTU written by Piet Christof Wölcken and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book includes the research papers presented in the final conference of the EU funded SARISTU (Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures) project, held at Moscow, Russia between 19-21 of May 2015. The SARISTU project, which was launched in September 2011, developed and tested a variety of individual applications as well as their combinations. With a strong focus on actual physical integration and subsequent material and structural testing, SARISTU has been responsible for important progress on the route to industrialization of structure integrated functionalities such as Conformal Morphing, Structural Health Monitoring and Nanocomposites. The gap- and edge-free deformation of aerodynamic surfaces known as conformal morphing has gained previously unrealized capabilities such as inherent de-icing, erosion protection and lightning strike protection, while at the same time the technological risk has been greatly reduced. Individual structural health monitoring techniques can now be applied at the part-manufacturing level rather than via extending an aircraft’s time in the final assembly line. And nanocomposites no longer lose their improved properties when trying to upscale from neat resin testing to full laminate testing at element level. As such, this book familiarizes the reader with the most significant develo pments, achievements and key technological steps which have been made possible through the four-year long cooperation of 64 leading entities from 16 different countries with the financial support of the European Commission.

Download or read book An Introduction to Flapping Wing Aerodynamics written by Wei Shyy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).

Download or read book The Stability and Control of an Aircraft with an Adaptive Wing written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing interest in the use of adaptive lifting surfaces for improved aircraft performance, it is necessary to study the stability and control characteristics of an aircraft with an adaptive wing. This research builds on recent development of an automated cruise flap for adapting a wing shape to achieve low drag over a large lift range. Such an automated cruise flap system was shown to have unusual lift and pitching moment curves, which prompted the need for studying the effect on aircraft stability and control. In this thesis, the static stability considerations are used to show that when an automated cruise flap is used on an airfoil to continuously adjust the flap to the optimum angle, there is a need for an accompanying controller that achieves the desired lift coefficient by adjusting the airfoil angle of attack. Likewise, when an automated flap is used on an aircraft wing, there is a need for an accompanying airspeed controller to adjust the elevator. The thesis presents Simulink models for analyzing the dynamic behavior of an aircraft with an automated flap. Two schemes were studied for the flap and elevator controllers. The most desirable results were obtained when the flap and elevator controllers were coupled so that trim changes due to the flap are immediately compensated by adjustment of the elevator angle. The results of the simulation show that the aircraft does not exhibit any undesirable behavior with the automated cruise flap. The study, therefore, provides the confidence needed to implement the system on an uninhabited aerial vehicle.
