Flight Dynamics and Control of a Vertical Tailless Aircraft

In the field of aeronautics, shape morphing has been used to identify those aircraft that undergo substantial geometrical changes in their external shape to enhance or adapt to their mission profiles during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not possible without morphing shape changes. The objective of morphing concepts is to develop high performance aircraft with lifting surface...

Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of a Damaged Transport Aircraft

A study was undertaken at NASA Langley Research Center to establish, demonstrate, and apply methodology for modeling and implementing the aerodynamic effects of MANPADS damage to a transport aircraft into real-time flight simulation, and to demonstrate a preliminary capability of using such a simulation to conduct an assessment of aircraft survivability. Key findings from this study include: su...

Steady Aircraft Flight and Aircraft Performance

calculation of aircraft aerodynamic loads during operational flight

in this research, the calculation method of aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight situations is presented. in order to find an calculation equation for aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight conditions, the f-5 aircraft is selected as a prototype is divided into one hundred small parts longitudinally. therefore, the numerical solutions are taken place in different conditions of...
