The next generation of commercial aircraft might feature high-aspect-ratio wing
configurations to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. However, these wings are more …

Increasing the aspect ratio is one way to improve aircraft aerodynamic efficiency. This
reduces the induced drag term but, at the same time, produces an increment of the wing …

This paper presents the design of an innovative wingtip device actively actuated to control
the aeroelastic loads, with a focus on the gust load alleviation. It summarizes the work …

Aircraft control surfaces are subjected to uncertain design parameters and time–varying
external disturbances related to aerodynamic loads. This paper presents a control …

Counter Turbulence Strategies have been researched since the 1960s to avoid aircraft
damage, passenger injuries and increase the aerodynamic efficiency of aircraft. This paper …

This paper resumes the activities done in the framework of the Clean Sky 2 AIRGREEN2
project, where an Innovative Wing Tip (IWT) device was designed, built, and tested. The IWT …
