The Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Diamond Joined‐Wing Morphing Aircraft
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 This paper presents a new‐concept aircraft with a diamond joined‐wing morphing configuration, which simultaneously adjusts the sweep angles of both the front wing and rear wings by a telescopic support rod. The compressible Navier‐Stokes equations in the conservative form are solved to analyze the configuration characteristics and the aerodynamic ...
