A novel control allocation method for yaw control of tailless aircraft

TR Shearwood, MRA Nabawy, WJ Crowther, C Warsop - Aerospace, 2020 - mdpi.com
Tailless aircraft without vertical stabilisers typically use drag effectors in the form of spoilers
or split flaps to generate control moments in yaw. This paper introduces a novel control …

Control authority of a camber morphing flying wing

D Keidel, U Fasel, P Ermanni - Journal of Aircraft, 2020 - arc.aiaa.org
Flying wings achieve their roll, pitch, and yaw controllability exclusively through spanwise
variations of lift and drag due to the lack of an empennage. Instead of using conventional …

Horizontal planform morphing tail for an avian inspired UAV using shape memory alloys
