Low-order aeroelastic modelling of a high aspect ratio wing aircraft under constrained motion (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The work presented in this paper describes the modelling of a low-order aeroelastic solver, built with the aim of analysing the dynamics of very flexible wing aircraft, with a focus on the coupling between the flight dynamics and the structural dynam...

Experimental analysis of the dynamics of flared folding wingtips via a novel tethered flight test (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent developments in morphing wing technologies are routinely tested using Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to their relatively low cost and time to manufacture. However, atmospheric flight tests limit both the repeatability of the recorded data...
