As climate change is exacerbated and existing resources are depleted, the need for
sustainable industries becomes ever so important. Aviation is not an exception. Despite the …

Many-objective optimisation is a design problem, having more than 3 objective functions,
which is found to be difficult to solve. Implementation of such optimisation on aircraft …

In this paper, an integrated geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic framework to analyze the
static nonlinear aeroelastic response of morphing composite wing with orthotropic materials …

This paper investigates the control problem of a morphing aircraft with variable sweep wings
based on switched nonlinear systems and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). The …

This paper investigates autonomous dynamic soaring maneuvers for a small Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (sUAV) having the capability to morph. Dynamic soaring for UAVs have …

The need of the aerospace industry, at national or European level, of faster yet reliable
computational fluid dynamics models is the main drive for the application of model reduction …

The electric propulsion system (EPS) of a quadrotor fixed-wing hybrid unmanned aerial
vehicle (QFHUAV) has important effects on its time of endurance and wind disturbance …

This paper investigates a switching control strategy for the altitude motion of a morphing
aircraft with variable sweep wings based on Q-learning. The morphing process is regarded …

This work focuses on the attitude control problem for hypersonic morphing vehicles (HMVs)
with uncertainties. A span-morphing HMV model is first established with lumped …

Dynamic soaring is a versatile maneuver executed to acquire energy available in the
atmospheric wind shears. In this paper, an innovative concept of integrating wing sweep …
