Journal ArticleDOI
Lifting-Line Predictions for Induced Drag and Lift in Ground Effect
TL;DR: In this article, closed-form relations for the induced-drag and lift coefficients acting on a wing in ground effect to those acting on the same wing outside the influence of ground effect are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimizing Induced Drag with Lift Distribution and Wingspan
TL;DR: In this paper, minimum induced drag for fixed gross weight and wingspan is obtained from the elliptic lift distribution for steady level flight, but this is not obtained by imposing the constrain.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Lifting-Line Approach to Estimating Propeller/Wing Interactions
Douglas F. Hunsaker,Deryl Snyder +1 more
TL;DR: A combined wing and propeller model is presented as a low-cost approach to first-cut modeling of slipstream effects on a finite wing, which uses a blade element theory combined with momentum conservation equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing Wing Twist or Planform Distributions for Specified Lift Distributions
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of avian-inspired morphing for UAV flight control
Christina Harvey,Lawren L. Gamble,Christian R. Bolander,Douglas F. Hunsaker,James J. Yoo,Daniel J. Inman +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , a survey of the literature on flight control and stability of avian-inspired morphing UAVs and birds to incorporate both an engineering and a biological perspective is presented.
