Oblique Flying Wings : An Introduction and White Paper 1 Desktop Aeronautics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The purpose of this white paper is to provide a range of information to potential designers of oblique wing aircraft, including theoretical and conceptual foundations, general performance characteristics and mission-based optimization, more detailed parametric design studies, and other supporting resources. A collection of technical papers related to oblique wings has been compiled as part of this study. Many of these papers have not been widely distributed, but are now available and linked to this paper.

A Flight Control Century: Triumphs of the Systems Approach
Introduction SPEAKING before the Western Society of Engineers in 1901, Wilbur Wright said: Men already know how to construct wings or aeroplanes, which when driven through the air at sufficient speed, will not only sustain the weight of the wings themselves, but also that of the engine, and of the engineer as well. Men also know how to build engines and screws of sufficient lightness and power ...
متن کاملNASA Hypersonic X-Plane Flight Development of Technologies and Capabilities for the 21st Century Access to Space
A new family of NASA experimental aircraft (X-planes) is being developed to uniquely, yet synergistically tackle a wide class of technologies to advance low-cost, efficient access to space for a range of payload classes. This family includes two non-air-breathing rocket-powered concepts, the X-33 and the X-34 aircraft, and two air-breathing vehicle concepts, the scramjet-powered Hyper-X and the...
متن کاملAerodynamic Design Studies of Conventional & Unconventional Wings with Winglets
In the pursuit of efficiency there is continued and developing interest in the subject of winglets and novel designs such as Blended Wing Body and Oblique Flying Wing. Winglets may exist in many modes, ranging from endplates, through folded wing tips to complex upper and lower surface partial chord devices. We have developed a design process that is directly applicable to the design of wings an...
متن کاملSpan Efficiencies of Wings at Low Reynolds Numbers
Elegant and inviscid analytical theory can predict the induced drag on lifting wings of finite span. The theoretical prediction is then often modified by multiplication with a dimensionless coefficient for which the departure from a value of 1 is used as a way to incorporate realistic and necessary departures from the idealizedmodel. Unfortunately, there are conflicting definitions of these dim...
متن کاملCan body traits, other than wings, reflect the flight ability of Triatominae bugs?
INTRODUCTION Insects of the subfamily Triatominae are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi , the Chagas disease parasite, and their flying behavior has epidemiological importance. The flying capacity is strikingly different across and within Triatominae species, as well as between sexes or individuals. Many Triatoma infestans individuals have wings but no flying muscles. In other Triatominae species, n...
