An investigation of the lift components present over low aspect ratio rectangular wings is presented. Wing aspect ratios ranging from 0.5 to 3 are examined using published experimental results and analytic analysis methods. The methods are based on the f...

Contrails are responsible for a significant proportion of aviation?s climate impact. This paper uses data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts to identify the altitudes and latitudes where formed contrails will not persist. This re...

The operation of aircrafts with high aspect ratio wings is usually vulnerable to low-standard airports and bad weather. A new concept for a mono-biplane aerodynamics-driven morphing aircraft is proposed. The movable and fixed wings form a biplane mode du...

In this paper, the effects of stroke amplitude and wing planform on the aerodynamics of hovering flapping wings are considered by numerically solving the incompressible Navier?Stokes equations. The wing planform geometry is represented using a beta-funct...
