To obtain the numerical model for predicting the nonlinear dynamic responses with high
accuracy, a dynamic sensitivity-based model updating approach by using the time-domain …

Three flutter-suppression designs for a flexible flying-wing research drone are discussed,
along with the modeling and flight-test results. The drone, with wing span of 10 feet, aspect …

The paper details the research and corresponding implementation and testing steps of the
FLEXOP demonstrator aircraft. Within the EU funded project an unmanned demonstrator …

In this paper, damages as well as dam** effects present in a structure have been
identified through the use of a two-stage damped updating method. The structure was …

The flight dynamics, flutter, and control design for two flexible flying-wing research drones
are discussed. The drones, with wing spans of 10 to 14 feet, aspect ratios of over 10, and …

The flight testing, system identification, and model refinement of a flexible, flying wing
aircraft, the mAEWing2, has been accomplished with an emphasis on a research-through …

As aircraft wings become more flexible as a result of searching for more fuel efficient and
higher performance solutions, structural nonlinearities become more apparent. Geometric …

A flight test platform is designed to conduct an experimental study on the body freedom
flutter of a BWB flying wing, and a flight test is performed by using the proposed platform. A …

This article presents a modal correlation and update carried out on an aeroelastic wind
tunnel demonstrator representing a conventional passenger transport aircraft. The aim of …

The presence of aeroservoelastic effects in the flight dynamics of flexible aircraft presents
significant challenges in terms of performance degradation and instability. In order to …
