Forward-swept wings can be expected to be lower-boom planforms with similar amount of drag as backward-swept wings because of their good lift distributions. In this study, the equivalent area distribution of a ten-seater supersonic forward-swept wing air...

The forward-swept wing (FSW), one of the wing planforms used in aircraft, is known for its high performance in reducing wave drag. Additionally, a study has shown that this wing planform can mitigate sonic booms, which pose a significant challenge to ach...

The wing planform and flapping kinematics are critical for the hovering flight of flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs). The degree of influence of wing geometry and kinematic parameters on aerodynamic performance still lacks in-depth analysis. In th...

In this paper, the effects of stroke amplitude and wing planform on the aerodynamics of hovering flapping wings are considered by numerically solving the incompressible Navier?Stokes equations. The wing planform geometry is represented using a beta-funct...

This article deals with aerodynamic and structural calculations of several wing designs to compare the influence of the shape on the lift distribution. Various shapes of wings for the required lift and bending moment were optimized to minimize drag and t...

In recent years, load alleviation technologies have been more widely used in transport aircraft. For aircraft already in service, load alleviation can contribute in extending the fatigue life, or enable small configurational changes. If load alleviation ...

A hybrid reduced-order model for the aeroelastic analysis of flexible subsonic wings with arbitrary planform is presented within a generalised quasi-analytical formulation, where a slender beam is considered as the linear structural dynamics model. A mod...
