Piezoelectric and Viscoelastic Control of Lifting Surface Aerodynamic Derivatives and Aileron Reversal∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of viscoelastic piezoelectric damping on the control of aerodynamic derivatives and of aileron reversal time retardation is formulated and evaluated. It is shown that significant control can be achieved with devices which add insignificant weight to flight vehicles, i. e. creep divergence and aileron reversal can be delayed in time.

Generalized Vortex Lattice Method for Predicting Characteristics of Wings with Flap and Aileron Deflection
A generalized vortex lattice method for complex lifting surfaces with flap and aileron deflection is formulated. The method is not restricted by the linearized theory assumption and accounts for all standard geometric lifting surface parameters: camber, taper, sweep, washout, dihedral, in addition to flap and aileron deflection. Thickness is not accounted for since the physical lifting body is ...

Improving aerodynamic models for adverse loss-of-control conditions in flight is an area being researched under the NASA Aviation Safety Program. Aerodynamic models appropriate for loss of control conditions require a more general mathematical representation to predict nonlinear unsteady behaviors. As more general aerodynamic models are studied that include nonlinear higher order effects, the p...
