Testing of untethered subscale models, often referred to as subscale flight testing, has
traditionally had a relatively minor, yet relevant use in aeronautical research and …

Safety-critical applications like the evaluation of aeroelastic stability during aircraft flight
require modal parameters identified with high accuracy. Promising methods of automated …

Several modeling extensions and numerical improvements to the unsteady vortex-lattice
method are discussed for the simulation of very flexible aircraft dynamics. In particular …
