Morphing Concept of UAVs of the Swept Flying Wing
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 41
Abstract
A special class of unmanned air vectors is the flying wings, which are to be found in the areas of interest to the same extent as the conventional design aircraft. The tailless design of unmanned aircraft brings compact geometry and manoeuvrability advantages with generation of 3D evolutions. Although the benefits of the morphing concept are highlighted from the aerodynamic point of view, the technical achievements are still a critical issue. This article aims at analysing the influence of constructive twist and of twist morphing on the performance of swept flying wings.
