Authors Steven Doyle, Joe Robinson, Vananh Ho, Grant Ogawa, and Myles Baker Introduction Conventional aircraft wing structures consist of skins over a network of substructure elements that are approximately straight…
Introduction Active aeroelastic control has the potential to address flutter, dynamic loads, and ride quality for supersonic transport configurations without adding weight, thereby enabling efficient high speed flight. In this…
Introduction Some transport aircraft concepts currently being studied are extremely lightweight and flexible compared to traditional designs. The feasibility of the new concepts may depend on flight control systems to alleviate the structural loads.…
Introduction While the interaction between aerodynamic and structural phenomena have been understood for many years, most progress in accurately predicting aeroelastic interactions has been made in flight regimes where both the aerodynamics and the…
