In this study, a design scheme for a high-aspect-ratio bionic multi-section variable-sweep wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that utilizes the reverse coordinated change in the sweep angle of the inner and outer wing sections is proposed, which improves the aerodynamic performance and realizes the self-trim compensation of the wing’s centroid. Acc...

Context 1
... the sweep angle of the weapon section remains fixed during the wing deformation process. Based on the above considerations, the design parameters related to the multi-section wing, tail, and fuselage of the UAV in this research are determined, as shown in Table 1. According to the weight estimation method in the overall design stage [46], the mass and centroid positions of the major components of the targeted morphing UAV studied in this research are listed in Table 2. ...Similar publications
In this study, the conceptual design of an unmanned ground effect vehicle (UGEV), based on in-house analytical tools and CFD calculations, followed by flow control studies, is presented. Ground effect vehicles can operate, in a more efficient way, over calm closed seas, taking advantage of the aerodynamic interaction between the ground and the vehi...
