Virtual Sensor for Failure Detection, Identification and Recovery in the Transition Phase of a Morphing Aircraft

Sensors, 2010
The Helicopter Adaptive Aircraft (HADA) is a morphing aircraft which is able to take-off as a helicopter and, when in forward flight, unfold the wings that are hidden under the fuselage, and transfer the power from the main rotor to a propeller, thus ...

Aerodynamic Optimization of Morphing Airfoil by PCA and Optimization-Guided Data Augmentation

Aerospace
An aircraft that has been carefully optimized for a single flight condition will tend to perform poorly at other flight conditions. For aircraft such as long-haul airliners, this is not necessarily a problem, since the cruise condition so heavily ...

Review on the Structure Design of Morphing Winglets

Aerospace
Winglets have a significant impact on the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. When aircraft are in different flight phases such as takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing, traditional fixed winglets often cannot provide optimal performance gains ...
