Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of an Adaptive Morphing Trailing Edge Wing
Adaptive morphing trailing edge wings have the potential to reduce the fuel burn of transport aircraft. In this paper, we quantify the aerodynamic performance benefits of a morphing trailing using aerodynamic design optimization. The aerodynamic model solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier– Stokes equations with a Spalart–Allmaras turbulence model. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is used i...
متن کاملEffect of Wing Sweep Angle on the Vortex Interaction of a Tail-Wing Configuration
The goal of this investigation is to study the effect of wing sweep angle on the horizontal wing-body- tail configurations in subsonic flow. For this purpose, a series of wind tunnel tests were conducted on a model having a moveable horizontal tail and a wing planform with different sweep angles. Tests were performed at different tail deflection angles. Static surface pressure distribution over...
متن کاملOptimization of a Morphing Wing Based on Coupled Aerodynamic and Structural Constraints
This paper presents the work done in designing a morphing wing concept for a small experimental unmanned aerial vehicle to improve the vehicle’s performance over its intended speed range. The wing is designed with a multidisciplinary design optimization tool, in which an aerodynamic shape optimization code coupled with a structural morphingmodel is used to obtain a set of optimal wing shapes fo...
متن کاملA morphing Aerofoil with Highly Controllable Aerodynamic Performance
In this paper, a morphing carbon fibre composite aerofoil concept with an active trailing edge is proposed. This aerofoil features of camber morphing with multiple degrees of freedom. The shape morphing is enabled by an innovative structure driven by an electrical actuation system that uses linear ultrasonic motors (LUSM) with compliant runners, enabling a full control of multiple degrees of fr...
متن کاملAerodynamic Hovering Performance of Rigid and Flexible Wing Planform Shapes
Wing geometric parameters govern the aerodynamic performance of insects and micro aerial vehicles. Previous studies of wing shapes have been limited to rigid wings. The aerodynamic hovering performance of rigid and flexible wing shapes for aspect ratio AR = 1.5 is evaluated computationally at the Reynolds number (Re) of 400. The three-dimensional viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations a...
