An Experimental Investigation into the Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence on the
Aerodynamics of Micro Air Vehicle Wings Page 1 An Experimental Investigation into the …

Flapping flight has the potential to revolutionize micro air vehicles (MAVs) due to increased
aerodynamic performance, improved maneuverability and hover capabilities. The purpose …

Summary Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are typically of low mass and moment of inertia and
have flight speeds comparable to birds and larger insects. Such craft traverse the lower …

Because of their potential for application in both civil and military sectors as well as the
challenge in designing a tiny flying vehicle, micro aerial vehicles have attracted enormous …

This paper investigates the performance of a non-symmetric airfoil in a perturbed flow for a
low Reynolds number by creating small vortical structures. A newly designed two …

Suction-based flow control is explored as one of means of enhancing the performance of a
low aspect ratio (AR) wing. Large-eddy simulation (LES) was performed to investigate the …

Micro aerial vehicles are currently receiving growing interest because of their broad
applications in many fields. In their flight tests, the onset of unwanted large amplitude roll …

Purpose Since most of the existing literature do not disclose the node coordinate data of its
fixed-wing aircraft airfoil, in order to develop and obtain a practical and suitable deformation …

Uncommanded self-induced roll oscillations cause significant challenges in flight control
and are ubiquitous in high-attack-angle flights in the flying-wing configuration. Spanwise …
