Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Aditya Nair has received a three-year, $600,000 award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to estimate and control the aeroelastic instabilities of ...
Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...
Modern CFD simulations provide detailed insights. However, especially in the transonic regime, they face physical and modeling limitations. Nonlinear interactions between shock waves and blade ...
Upon his retirement as a non-routine flight operations captain from a fractional operator in 2015, Dr. Veillette had accumulated more than 20,000 hours of flight experience in 240 types of ...
Winglet manufacturer Aviation Partners has completed a test flight with a Hawker 800 featuring a new winglet installation that was tweaked to prevent aeroelastic flutter. The original Aviation ...
In a collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR, Göttingen, Germany) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM, Munich, Germany), researchers ...
Wings with longer spans and lower weight generate less drag – and are therefore more energy efficient. More efficient lift could reduce kerosene consumption and thus reduce emissions and costs. The ...
Aeroelastic properties are expected to become increasingly important for future aircraft configurations. A number of examples clearly show this obvious trend: The increasing use of lightweight ...
