As an important part of the wing, skin deformation accuracy directly affect aerodynamic performance aircraft in different environments. Based on idea easy processing and deformation, a method for designing variable section thickness trailing edge camber wings is proposed. In this paper, firstly, length each segment 3~8 segments are optimized. Then results compared analyzed. Finally, correctness...

This paper considers the control of coupled aeroelastic aircraft model with Variable Camber Continuous Trailing Edge Flap (VCCTEF) system. The relative motion between two adjacent flaps is constrained and this actuation constraint problem is converted into an output covariance constraint problem, and therefore can be formulated using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A set of LMI conditions is...

This paper reports the results of a computational study that was conducted to explore the effect of various Variable Camber Continuous Trailing Edge Flap (VCCTEF) configurations on the lift and drag of a NASA Generic Transport Model (GTM) wing section at a span-wise location called the break station that marks a sharp change in the wing trailing edge slope. The OVERFLOW solver with the the one-...

In 1957 the slender-delta type of configuration had been adopted in the U.K. as the most promising for a supersonic transport aircraft designed to cruise at about M = 2.0, and by 1959 one or two exploratory studies of the aeroelastic behaviour of such layouts had been made. Professor Etkin now suggested a mode of attack on the steady and quasi-steady aeroelastic problems, whereby such an aircra...
