Some compressibility effects on the lee side flow structures of cruciform wing-body configurations with very low aspect ratio wings (2013)
Journal Article
Toomer, C., Tuling, S., Tuling, S., Dala, L., & Toomer, C. (2013). Some compressibility effects on the lee side flow structures of cruciform wing-body configurations with very low aspect ratio wings. Aerospace Science and Technology, 29(1), 373-385. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ast.2013.04.008

A series of validated numerical simulations of a tangent ogive circular body in combination with very low aspect ratio cruciform wings at supersonic Mach numbers and angles of attack up 25 have been performed. Inspection of the flow in the cross flow... Read More about Some compressibility effects on the lee side flow structures of cruciform wing-body configurations with very low aspect ratio wings.

Engineless unmanned aerial vehicle propulsion by dynamic soaring (2009)
Journal Article
Deittert, M., Toomer, C., Richards, A., & Pipe, A. (2009). Engineless unmanned aerial vehicle propulsion by dynamic soaring. Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 32(5), 1446-1457. https://doi.org/10.2514/1.43270

Dynamic soaring is a flight technique which extracts energy from wind gradients with the potential to power small unmanned aerial vehicles in maritime applications. Wind gradients of the required magnitude naturally occur at the air-sea interface due... Read More about Engineless unmanned aerial vehicle propulsion by dynamic soaring.
