This paper experimentally investigates the flow field development and unsteady loading of
three force-mitigating pitch manoeuvres during a transverse gust encounter. The …

A dimensional analysis of transverse gusts was performed using the Buckingham Π theorem
in an effort to standardize their characterization. This analysis identified three key terms that …

Air vehicles of all scales are susceptible to large-amplitude gusts that may lead to vehicle
damage and instability. Therefore, effective physics-based control strategies and an …

This study investigates the relative impacts of different gusts on representative small
Uncrewed Air Systems through the use of a simple analytical model. The model uses basic …

This paper presents a framework based on either iterative simulation or iterative
experimentation for constructing an optimal, open-loop maneuver to regulate the …

The prediction of gust loads during atmospheric flight can aid in the design, assessment and
certification of aircraft, and can also enhance the reliability of low-inertia vehicles which are …

The characteristics of gust flow are essential for gust response and alleviation. To
investigate the influence of control parameters on gusts with different velocity profiles, four …

Uncrewed air vehicles in urban environments will have flights during terminal operations
that are dominated by strong transient aerodynamics. These vehicles are not only lighter …

Aerial vehicles of all scales, but especially smaller vehicles operating in urban
environments, are prone to gusty winds and flow disturbances. Knowledge on the physics of …
