The Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Diamond Joined-Wing Morphing Aircraft
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 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
