Investigated and revealed are new insights into the individual, decoupled effects of induced camber and spanwise bending on the lift, drag, and endurance for an optimum flexibility …
This paper is a numerical investigation on model reduction and control system design of integrally actuated membrane wings. A high-fidelity electroaeromechanical model is used …
In this study, unsteady flow around flexible membrane wing which had aspect ratio of 1 (AR= 1) was investigated experimentally at various Reynolds numbers (Re= 25000 and Re …

Experiments on the relative merits and demerits of slotted wingtips mimicking a bird's primary feathers have been performed. The real emargination length of feather tips, their …
Abstract THIS DISSERTATION CONCERNS how design automation as well as rapid prototyping and testing of subscale prototypes can support aircraft design. A framework for …
Fixed-wing micro air vehicles are difficult to fly, due to their low Reynolds number, low aspect ratio nature: flow separation erodes wing efficiency, the wings are susceptible to …
