Wingtip vortices generated from aircraft wingtips, as a result of the pressure differential at the wingtip, constitute a major component of the total drag force, especially during take-off and …
Folding wingtip technologies are in the focus of research for their potential to significantly reduce the induced drag of transport aircraft by increasing the wing's aspect ratio in flight …
Climate predictions-and the computer models behind them-play a key role in shaping public opinion and our response to the climate crisis. Some people interpret these predictions as' …
The current study presents the investigation of the cant angle morphing winglet concept on a tactical, fixed-wing, Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The …

Winglet is a wingtip device that was developed to improve aircraft flight performance by reducing induced drag. The induced drag produced by the NXXX aircraft is considered too …
The wing-body configuration for Micro Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) decides their aerodynamics performance which potentially providing benefits for wing design …
The use of winglet devices is an efficient technique for enhancing aerodynamic performance. This study investigates the effects of winglet cant angles on both the …
In this work, a comprehensive insight into the new passive flow control method, ie a two- dimensional streamwise waviness (recently proposed by Dróżdż et al.[1]) is provided using …
The present work focuses on the actuation system of a morphing winglet conceived to adaptively alter the load distribution on the wing, to reduce its stress level and enhance the …
