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 …

Testing of untethered subscale models, often referred to as subscale flight testing, has
traditionally had a relatively minor, yet relevant use in aeronautical research and …

This paper investigates the ability of low-order structural and aerodynamic models to predict
geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic behaviors associated with large wing deflections. The …

In this work, a novel data-based stochastic “global” identification framework is introduced for
aerospace structures operating under varying flight states and uncertainty. In this context …

The Pazy wing aeroelastic benchmark is a highly flexible wind tunnel model investigated in
the Large Deflection Working Group as part of the Third Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop …

Next-generation civil transport aircraft may take advantage of high-aspect-ratio wings for
lower induced drag. However, these high-aspect-ratio wings are very flexible and may …

The paper presents the derivation of a modal nonlinear structural model and its coupling
with a nonlinear aerodynamic model for static aeroelastic analysis of highly deformable …

Some classes of aircraft are characterized by highly flexible wings undergoing large
structural deformations in steady and maneuvering flight. In most cases this flexibility is the …

Flying-wing unmanned aerial vehicles have received extensive attention over the past
decade because of their excellent aerodynamic and stealth performance. However, the …

A framework based on multibody dynamics has been developed for the static and dynamic
aeroelastic analyses of flexible high aspect ratio wing aircraft subject to structural geometric …
