Aeroelastic Stability Analysis of the AD-1 Manned Oblique-Wing Aircraft

Nonlinear Aeroelastic Analysis of Joined-wing Aircraft

Joined-wing aircraft are being designed for ‘sensorcraft’ configuration. Joined wings lead to multiple load paths and constraints. The focus of this work is to understand the nonlinear structural as well as aeroelastic behavior of joined wings. The paper presents a formulation for the nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of joined wings. Results are presented for two joined wings configurations. Over...

Oblique Wing: Future Generation Transonic Aircraft

Identification of a Nonlinear Aeroelastic Aircraft Wing Model

The “reverse path” spectral method, a frequency domain based nonlinear system identification technique, is considered for identifying nonlinear aeroelastic models. The method is based upon a multi-input/multi-output spectral conditioning process that mutually uncorrelates the linear and nonlinear components of the system response. Conditioned frequency response estimates derived from this proce...

Rolling active control for an aircraft of seamless aeroelastic wing

This paper presents an investigation into the controllability for an aircraft of seamless aeroelastic wing. The research is aimed at the design of control laws for the aircraft rolling by actively operating a pair of an unconventional hingeless flexible leading and trailing control surfaces at different flight speed. The main challenge is how to achieve a specified rolling rate for the aircraft...

Robust Stabilization of Oblique Wing Aircraft Model Using PID Controller

The paper is focused on computation of all possible robustly stabilizing Proportional-IntegralDerivative (PID) controllers for oblique wing aircraft modelled as interval system. The main idea of the proposed method is based on Tan’s technique for calculation of (nominally) stabilizing PI and PID controllers or robustly stabilizing PI controllers by means of plotting the stability boundary locus...
