Suppose the identical quality that renders a fighter aircraft revolutionary is also the one that keeps it from ever actually flying as a weapon of war. The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut is a stark case history ...

Coupled aeroelastic analysis reveals that attaching an acoustic black hole (ABH) structure to the leeward side enhances energy dissipation and modal redistribution, effectively mitigating ...

In the research topic of aeroelastic design, we deal with various design tasks in the context of the aeroelastic design of an aircraft, an aircraft component or a wind tunnel model. The development of ...

What’s Aeroelastic flutter? Aeroelastic flutter is a type of instability that can occurs in aircraft (in structural components like wings, tail, and control surfaces) and other structures that ...

-While the F-16 SFW never made it past the blueprint stage, the X-29’s 242 flights helped researchers understand aircraft control during extreme instability and the mechanics of aeroelastic ...

The department Aeroelastic Experiments is committed to the planning, realization and analysis of challenging experiments in wind tunnels. We investigate physical phenomena regarding aeroelasticity and ...

Aeroelastic wings. DLR’s aeroelastic wings made their first flight on November 19 at Oberpfaffenhofen airport (Weßling, Germany). Source | DLR TUM researchers are responsible for the design and ...

Tom: The albatross’ wing-tips are actually somewhat analogous to semi-aeroelastic hinged wing-tips. The albatross can “lock” its wings at the shoulder to travel long distances, but when faced with ...

That was the conclusion of project manager Larry Myers as flight tests in the Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) project at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif ...
