Measuring Surface Geometry of Airplane Wing by Means of Two Methods
Journal Title: Aviation - Year 2009, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
Determination of the geometry of aircraft surfaces has always been an extremely complicated task, though it is very important for the aerodynamic properties of the entire aircraft or its parts (like wings, body, rudders, etc.). Measurement of the geometrical properties of aircraft parts is especially difficult due to the smoothness of their surfaces. Here in this paper a short review of two methods of determining the shape of aircraft parts are given: one relies on determining point position by means of laser-based scanning and another relies on photogrammetry. A comparison of the results of both methods applied to the same aircraft element is also presented.

Optimal Control of Flapping Wing Accounting for Nonsteady Effects
The optimization of flapping wing trajectory for the minimization energy consumed by the wing and associated with induced power losses is considered in this paper. An aircraft with such a wing is assumed to move in a hor...
Orlaivio sparno geometrijos matavimas dviem metodais
Orlaivio paviršiaus geometrijos nustatymas visada buvo labai sudėtinga užduotis, nors tai labai svarbu orlaivio dalių (sparnų, liemens, vairų ir kt.) ar viso orlaivio aerodinaminių charakteristikų kontrolei. Nustatyti ge...
