The conceptual design of an aircraft system requires a number of analysis cycles involving the study of various configurations for which aerodynamic and structural properties are not well defined. The aeroelastic stability and structural strength con

A technique of deforming a flexible wing to hold the airplane in a steady pull-up maneuver with required load factor at high dynamic pressures is examined. Rather than using an elevator system for pull-up, symmetric elastic twist and camber is determ

The concept of an adaptive aircraft wing, i.e., whose shape parameters such as camber, span-wise twist, and thickness can be varied to optimize the wing shape for various flight conditions, has been extensively studied by numerous researchers. While

On high performance military aircraft, small changes in both wing twist and wing camber have the potential to provide substantial payoffs in terms of additional lift and enhanced maneuverability. To achieve the required wing shape, actuators made of

This paper evaluates the capability of the constant pressure panel method (CPM) code to predict unsteady aerodynamic pressures, lift and moment distributions, and generalized forces for general wing-body configurations in supersonic flow. Stability d
