This paper presents low Reynolds number experimental wind tunnel investigations of flexible high aspect ratio aircraft models with body pitch degree-of-freedom. The aim is to assess nonlinear dynamic interactions of highly flexible wings with aircraf... Read More about Wind tunnel investigations of a pitch-free flexible high aspect ratio aircraft model.

Experimental and numerical analysis of the bifurcation behaviour of a very flexible wing (2024)
Conference Proceeding

High aspect ratio wings promise greater aerodynamic efficiency with subsequent savings for airlines. However, these types of designs could be prone to unstable aeroelastic responses within the standard flight envelope, which may result from the reduc...
