Gust load alleviation is a crucial topic for the practical application of high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial ...

Gust load alleviation systems represent a pivotal advancement in the design and operation of flexible aircraft. By integrating robust control strategies that combine feedforward and feedback ...

Airbus has commenced testing of a scale model demonstrator intended to explore the benefits of hinged wing-tips to alleviate gust loads and consequently reduce aircraft structural weight. While ...

To increase the aerodynamic efficiency of the future generation of short- and medium-range aircraft, the aspect ratio (ratio of wingspan to wing area) is continuously increased. From an aeroelastic ...

Air vehicle and radar designers aspire to the union of form and function: antennas that perform both structural and sensing roles. Such technology could revolutionize battlefield intelligence, ...

The computation of flight and ground loads acting on the aircraft structure is one of the main tasks in the design and certification process of an aircraft. The term loads comprises all steady and ...

The common pilot belief that structural damage from control inputs is impossible below maneuvering speed (Va) because the aircraft will stall first is incorrect. The 2001 American Airlines Flight 587 ...

AeroGust is a 4.2M Euro state of the art engineering computer simulation project that is led by the University of Bristol and brings together a total of 12 organisations across 7 countries. The ...
