Abstract

This is a technology which depends on a morphing vehicle wingtip. It allows one to replace the use of the rudder for some vehicles with the outer ailerons for control of the Dutch Roll Mode. Description of the PTERA flight test in support of the Spanwise Adaptive Wing flight research program.

Analysis of High-Speed Aerodynamics of a Swept Wing with Seamless Flaps

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to evaluate the high-speed aerodynamics of a Gulfstream GIII airplane (Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Savannah, Georgia) swept wing modified with an experimental seamless, compliant flap called the Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) flap for airworthiness. The high-speed aerodynamics of the modified ACTE wing were analyzed at Mach 0.85, 40,000 ft. A polyhedral finite-volume unstructured Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes CFD code was used with a two-equation turbulence model.
