The objective of this study is to develop a genetic algorithm that uses the IGP parameterization to increase the lift coefficient (CL) of three airfoils to be used on wings of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The geometry of three baseline airfoils was m...

An electrically controlled rotor (ECR), also known as a swashplateless rotor, eliminates the swashplate system to implement the primary control via the trailing-edge flaps (TEFs), which can result in enhancements in rotor performance, as well as substant...

A novel concept of morphing airfoils, capable of changing camber and thickness, is proposed. A variable airfoil shape, defined by six input parameters, is achieved by allowing the three spinal points (at fixed axial positions) to slide vertically, while ...
