Experimental Investigation into Articulated Winglet Effects on Flying Wing Surface Pressure Aerodynamics

Gatto et al investigate the influence of articulated winglets on the resulting surface pressures on a flying wing test model for possible applications to gust load alleviation. The experimental model tested, analyzed, and evaluated used two actively controlled wingtips that were free to rotate about...

Zusammenfassung:Gatto et al investigate the influence of articulated winglets on the resulting surface pressures on a flying wing test model for possible applications to gust load alleviation. The experimental model tested, analyzed, and evaluated used two actively controlled wingtips that were free to rotate about the wingtip chord axis line.
