In recent decades, the environmental impacts of aviation have become a key challenge for
the aeronautical community. Advanced and well-established technologies such as active …

Flutter is a dynamic aeroelastic instability driven by the interaction of inertial, elastic, and
aerodynamic forces. It is an undesirable phenomenon in aircraft because it causes divergent …

Abstract Diamond Wings, Strut-and Truss-Braced Wings, Box Wings, and PrandtlPlane, the
so-called “JoinedWings”, represent a dramatic departure from traditional configurations …

In the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the field of nonlinear
aeroelasticity. With substantial improvements in computing capabilities, the control surface …

This works describes the implementation of a semi-analytical representation of the wingbox
structure in the conceptual and preliminary design phases, it manages different analysis and …

Abstract The PrandtlPlane (PrP) aircraft wing-box least-weight design is presented in this
work. This design problem is formulated as a constrained non-linear programming problem …

This paper presents a preliminary study on the improvement of the fuel efficiency of a civil
transport aircraft, focusing on the aero-elastic optimization of an increased aspect ratio …

Aerodynamic interference occurs when biplane wings are placed close to each other.
Investigating aerodynamic interference on the transonic flutter characteristics of these wings …

The potential of the joined/box-wing aircraft as an environmentally friendly airliner that is
capable of meeting current and future emission thresholds led to the investigation of this …

THE space solar power satellite (SSPS) is a power system that converts solar energy to
electricity and transmits the electricity energy to the Earth through microwaves [1]. It was first …
