Aeroelastic Scaling of a High-Aspect-Ratio Wing Incorporating a Semi-Aeroelastic Hinge

There has been a growing interest in utilizing flared folding wingtips as an in-flight load alleviation device to enable increased wing spans that meet airport gate limits but with little increase in wing weight. The semi-aeroelastic hinge (SAH) concept is implemented in high-aspect-ratio wings to e...
