Current economic constraints and environmental regulations call for design of more efficient aircraft configurations. An observed trend in aircraft design to reduce the lift induced drag …
Aircraft performance is influenced significantly both by aeroelastic phenomena, arising from the interaction of elastic, inertial and aerodynamic forces, and by load variations resulting …
This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro …
This paper presents multipoint high-fidelity aerostructural optimizations of a long-range wide- body transonic transport aircraft configuration. The aerostructural analysis employs Euler …

Low Reynolds number aerodynamics is important to a number of natural and man-made flyers. Birds, bats, and insects have been of interest to biologists for years, and active study …
HYPERSONIC flight began in February 1949 when a WAC Corporal rocket was ignited from a US-captured V-2 rocket [1]. In the six decades since this milestone, there have been …
Flutter is a dynamic aeroelastic instability driven by the interaction of inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic forces. It is an undesirable phenomenon in aircraft because it causes divergent …
