As climate change is exacerbated and existing resources are depleted, the need for
sustainable industries becomes ever so important. Aviation is not an exception. Despite the …

This paper presents an extensive review of the developments in the aeroelasticity of
morphing aircraft that occurred in the last decade (from 2009 to 2020). It focuses mainly on …

A recent consideration in aircraft design is the use of folding wing tips with the aim of
enabling higher aspect ratio aircraft with less induced drag, but also meeting airport gate …

The effect of the sloshing motion of liquid in a tank on the vertical transient motion of a single
degree of freedom system is investigated. Step release tests of a vertically vibrating …

Future aircraft designs look set to use longer wingspans to increase the aspect ratio and
therefore overall aerodynamic efficiency of the airframe. Such larger wingspans also reduce …

In recent years, the development of lighter and more efficient transport aircraft has led to an
increased focus on gust load alleviation. A recent strategy is based on the use of folding …

Folding wingtips have begun to feature on recent aircraft designs, as a solution for
compliance with existing airport gate width regulations while enabling high-aspect-ratio …

Recent aircraft designs have considered higher-aspect-ratio wings to reduce induced drag
for improved fuel efficiency; however, to remain compliant with airport gate requirements …

A recent consideration in aircraft design is using hinged wing tip devices to increase the
aspect ratio, improving aircraft performance. Moreover, numerical studies have suggested …

A recent consideration in aircraft design is the use of folding wingtips, with the aim of
