Neural networks have been widely used as compensational models for aircraft control designs and as surrogate models for other optimizations. In the case of tiltrotor aircraft, the total number of aircraft states and controls is much greater than that of ...

The operation of aircrafts with high aspect ratio wings is usually vulnerable to low-standard airports and bad weather. A new concept for a mono-biplane aerodynamics-driven morphing aircraft is proposed. The movable and fixed wings form a biplane mode du...

Icing on an aircraft is the cause of numerous adverse effects on aerodynamic performance. Although the issue was recognized in the 1920s, the icing problem is still an area of ongoing research due to the complexity of the icing phenomena. This review art...

A micro air vehicle (MAV) is a class of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles that has a size restriction and may be autonomous. Fixed-wing MAVs are very attractive for outdoor surveillance missions since they generally offer better payload and endurance ca...

Conventional or fixed wings require a certain thickness of skin material selection that guarantees structurally reliable strength under expected aerodynamic loadings. However, skin structures of morphing wings need to be flexible as well as stiff enough ...
