Download or read book The Paths Of Soaring Flight written by Frank George Irving and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-03-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the sport of soaring, mainly with the mathematical basis of sailplane design and operation. It does not tell the beginner how to fly, but it will give an experienced pilot some background, with historical notes showing how ideas have evolved and could develop in the future. Some of the material is taken from OSTIV (Organisation Scientifique et Technique Internationale de Vol a Viole) publications and from Technical Soaring, neither of which is readily available to the general public, including papers by the author and others. Extensive references are provided in each chapter.

Download or read book Comparison of the Standard Thermal Mix Model to an Alternate Approach of Sailplane Winglet Design and Their Resulting Impact on Cross Country Flight Performance written by Jenna Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-performance racing sailplanes are able to exploit sources of lift in the atmosphere and have regularly flown distances of over 1,000 kilometers. Without an engine, sailplanes are always sinking relative to the airmass they are flying in, forcing them to rely on various weather phenomena to stay aloft. Typically, cross-country soaring involves several cycles of climbing in lift, usually by circling in thermals, then utilizing altitude gained in a straight glide to the next thermal. A sailplane must fly efficiently both while climbing at low speeds and high CL's and while gliding at higher speeds and low CL's in order to obtain the fastest average cross-country speed. The speed-to-fly while gliding is determined by the strength of the thermals present on a given day. Therefore, the weather model used during the design process will determine the sailplane's predicted performance and directly impacts the resulting design. An alternate weather model that considers a wide variety of thermal strengths and cross-country performance at different wing loadings was investigated in this study. This method produced a different wing area result than the thermal mix model originally used in designing the Ventus 3. The alternate method used in this thesis shows that additional cross-country performance gains may be available by increasing the wing area by 5 to 10 percent on the Ventus 3. It is unknown which method will result in better cross-country performance overall. Future work can look to quantify this performance gain and any differences in soaring strategy that may improve average cross-country speeds.
