Flight mechanics of a tailless articulated wing aircraft.
This paper investigates the flight mechanics of a micro aerial vehicle without a vertical tail in an effort to reverse-engineer the agility of avian flight. The key to stability and control of such a tailless aircraft lies in the ability to control the incidence angles and dihedral angles of both wings independently. The dihedral angles can be varied symmetrically on both wings to control aircr...
متن کاملLow Speed Flight Tests on a Tailless Delta Wing Aircraft (Avro 707B)
SuMbiARY Flzght tests have been made to measure the static and dynamc longltudmal stability, the effect of ground on stabIll@, and the elevator pcwer of the Avro 7078 whxh has a delta wmg sweptback I$+.5c. A comparison of the results with those of tunnel tests IS made. There IS a loss of static atabIlIty, stxk fzed and free, above a lzft coefficwnt of 0.5. Stmk force/g at low speed is small par...
متن کاملFlight Dynamics and Control of a Vertical Tailless Aircraft
In the field of aeronautics, shape morphing has been used to identify those aircraft that undergo substantial geometrical changes in their external shape to enhance or adapt to their mission profiles during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not possible without morphing shape changes. The objective of morphing concepts is to develop high performance aircraft with lifting surface...
متن کاملRotary-Wing Flight Mechanics
A helicopter is not possessed of an ability to fly fast compared with fixed-wing counterparts. This is a result of considerations with the main rotor. The main rotor moves in a direction very close to its plane of rotation which naturally divides it into two halves which operate under different aerodynamic conditions. One side (called the advancing side) has the rotation and translation velocit...
متن کاملAgile Flight Control Techniques for a Fixed-Wing Aircraft
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more involved in challenging mission objectives, the need for agility controlled flight becomes more of a necessity. The ability to navigate through constrained environments as well as quickly maneuver to each mission target is essential. Currently, individual vehicles are developed with a particular mission objective, whether it be persistent surveilla...
