Effect 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 کاملStabilization of the Radial Position of a Tethered Satellite System
We investigate the stabilization of the radial position of a tethered satellite by tension control with respect to in-plane and out-of-plane perturbations. In previous investigations ([1, 2]) we considered the deployment and retrieval of a satellite from the main station, assuming that the motion of the satellite is restricted to the orbital plane. Now we ask, whether it is possible to stabiliz...
متن کاملFlow Simulation of N3–X Hybrid Wing-Body Configuration
System studies show that a N3–X hybrid wing-body aircraft with a turboelectric distributed propulsion system using a mail-slot inlet/nozzle nacelle can meet the environmental and performance goals for N+3 generation transports (three generations beyond the current air transport technology level) set by NASA’s Subsonic Fixed Wing Project. In this study, a Navier-Stokes flow simulation of N3–X on...
متن کاملFlow Field Interference Characteristic of Axial Ring Wing Configuration
Article history: Received: 25.10.2014. Received in revised form: 19.03.2014. Accepted: 20.03.2014. To analyze the air flow interference between upper and lower wings in axial ring wing configuration, NASA SC(2)-1006 supercritical airfoil is chosen as the basic airfoil. Flow field around the doublewing structure with different relative distances between upper and lower wings is numerically simul...
متن کاملFirst free-flight flow visualisation of a flapping-wing robot
Flow visualisations are essential to better understand the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wing flight. The issues inherent to animal experiments, such as poor controllability and unnatural flapping when tethered, can be avoided by using robotic flyers. Such an approach holds a promise for a more systematic and repeatable methodology for flow visualisation, through a better controlled flight....
