Wing Taper Considerations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Of the three wings, the most strongly tapered λ = 0.2 wing will have by far the smallest tip deflection ratio δ/b. This is mostly due to its larger root chord giving a greater local stiffness, although its smaller root bending moment factor of 0.100 also contributes. Such inherent stiffness allows the strongly tapered wing to have a larger span than the others, giving it a potentially lower induced drag.

Configuring the Mesh Size, Side Taper and Wing Depth of Penaeid Trawls to Reduce Environmental Impacts
The effects of reducing mesh size while concomitantly varying the side taper and wing depth of a generic penaeid-trawl body were investigated to improve engineering performance and minimize bycatch. Five trawl bodies (with the same codends) were tested across various environmental (e.g. depth and current) and biological (e.g. species and sizes) conditions. The first trawl body comprised 41-mm m...
متن کاملFree-Flight Measurements of the Transonic Roll-Damping Characteristics of Three RelatedWings
Measurements of the roll-damping derivative (lp) of three wing planforms were made by the free-flight roll-balance technique over the Mach number range 0-7 to 1.4. The wings were all of RAE 102 section, 7" 5 per cent t/c and aspect ratio 2.83 but varied in sweep and taper ratio. The two wings of taper ratio 0.33 showed little loss of damping in the transonic region but the 50 deg delta wing suf...
متن کاملAerostructural Optimization of Nonplanar Lifting Surfaces
Nonplanar lifting surfaces can lower the induced drag relative to planar surfaces by redistributing vorticity.Other sources of drag, such as viscous drag, as well as nonaerodynamic considerations, such as structural weight, also play an important role in assessing the overall efficiency of such lifting surfaces. In this paperwe solve a series of problems tofindoptimal nonplanar lifting surfaces...
متن کاملA Generic Framework for the Design Optimisation of Multidisciplinary UAV Intelligent Systems using Evolutionary Computing
Asynchronous Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms (HAPEAs) have shown to be robust as they require no derivatives or gradients of the objective function, have the capability of finding globally optimum solutions amongst many local optima, can be executed asynchronously in parallel and adapted easily to arbitrary solver codes without major modifications. The application of the methodology is illustr...
متن کاملAn Interactive Software for Conceptual Wing Flutter Analysis and Parametric Study
An interactive computer program was developed for wing flutter analysis in the conceptual design stage. The objective was to estimate the flutter instability boundary of a flexible cantilever wing, when well defined structural and aerodynamic data are not available, and then study the effect of change in Mach number, dynamic pressure, torsional frequency, sweep, mass ratio, aspect ratio, taper ...
