The sustainability of air transport is increasingly studied in relation to climate issues. The
objective of this paper is to provide the key elements for assessing whether a given …

Constructal law considers the design as a physics principle and uses energy flow
configurations (eg, the flow of stresses through the structure) to explain and predict the time …

Flying animals morph and flex their wings during their flight. Their wings morph with the
turbulent flow created around them. The wings of modern airplanes do not have this ability …

In recent years, there has been a considerable growth in the demand for low-orbit satellites,
leading to a need for more flexible and cost-effective launch systems. This study presents a …

The results of numerical studies carried out on high‐aspect‐ratio wings with different
planforms are discussed: the transonic regime is analysed for a swept wing and a curved …

This paper presents a study of transonic wings whose planform shape is curved. Using fluid
structure interaction analyses, the dynamic instability conditions were investigated by …

In this paper we study the influence of different sweep angles of the wing end part on the
aeroelastic and strength characteristics of medium range aircraft. Also we examine the …

The effects of the planform on the aerodynamic drag have been numerically investigated
and compared, in the high subsonic regime and low angles of attack, for three wing models …

The dynamic aeroelastic responses in the transonic regime for a conventional swept wing
and a curved-planform wing, both having a high aspect ratio, are analysed in detail. Using 2 …

State-of-the-art aeroelastic design and analysis methods are very well capable of capturing
aeroelastic instabilities (ie divergence, flutter, etc.). However, they come short in illuminating …
