In this study, an experimental investigation of a low aspect ratio rectangular membrane wing
with excess length was presented at angles of attack ranging from 0° to 25° at Reynolds …

The aspect ratio of a membrane wing at moderate Reynolds number R e= 67,500 affects
aerodynamic performance as well as membrane deformations. Wind-tunnel experiments are …

Aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional membrane airfoils were experimentally
investigated in a wind tunnel. The effects of the membrane pre-strain and excess length on …

An experimental study of unsteady aerodynamics of two-dimensional membrane airfoils has
been conducted. Measurements of membrane shape with a high-speed camera were …

Membrane wings are used both in nature and small aircraft as lifting surfaces. Separated
flows are common at low Reynolds numbers and are the main sources of unsteadiness. Yet …

Fluid–structure interaction of a flexible membrane wing was investigated experimentally at a
fixed angle of attack (α= 14). The Reynolds numbers (Re) based on the chord length of the …

Experiments were conducted on rectangular wings with an aspect ratio of two, at a chord
Reynolds number Rec= 46,000, in order to understand how membrane wings behave in a …

Abstract Development of an aeroelastic solver with application to flexible membrane wings
for micro air vehicles is presented. A high-order (up to sixth order) Navier–Stokes solver is …

Wind tunnel experiments are conducted at a Reynolds number of Re= 56,000, measuring
rigid flat-plates and flexible membrane wings from free-flight into ground-effect conditions …
