Aeroelastic control systems represent a critical intersection between aerodynamic theory and structural dynamics, addressing the complex interactions that give rise to flutter – a self-excited ...

Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Aditya Nair has received a three-year, $600,000 award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to estimate and control the aeroelastic instabilities of ...

Panel flutter is a typically dynamic aeroelastic instability phenomenon of the external skin panel with one side exposed to supersonic airflow. This phenomenon can lead to fatigue damage and result in ...

Modern CFD simulations provide detailed insights. However, especially in the transonic regime, they face physical and modeling limitations. Nonlinear interactions between shock waves and blade ...

Winglet manufacturer Aviation Partners has completed a test flight with a Hawker 800 featuring a new winglet installation that was tweaked to prevent aeroelastic flutter. The original Aviation ...

In a collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR, Göttingen, Germany) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM, Munich, Germany), researchers ...

The aim is to make aviation in Europe climate-neutral by 2050. An important part of this is reducing the drag of future aircraft, with the wings playing a major role. The wings not only generate the ...

This module supports the development of the professional skills sought in aviation safety and aeroelasticity professionals, so students can become future leaders in this area. This module covers the ...

Upon his retirement as a non-routine flight operations captain from a fractional operator in 2015, Dr. Veillette had accumulated more than 20,000 hours of flight experience in 240 types of ...
