Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges, Ideas, and Innovations of Joined-Wing Configurations: A Concept from the Past, an Opportunity for the Future
Rauno Cavallaro,Luciano Demasi +1 more
TL;DR: A review of studies on the United States joined-wing SensorCraft, Strut- and Truss- Braced Wings, Box Wings and PrandtlPlane shows potential in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, reduction of emissions and superior performances, strongly supporting the technical advantages of Joined Wings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invariant Formulation for the Minimum Induced Drag Conditions of Nonplanar Wing Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a configuration-invariant analytical formulation for the induced drag minimization of single-wing nonplanar systems is presented under the hypotheses of linear potential flow and rigid wake aligned with the freestream.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equivalent Single Layer, Zig-Zag, and Layer Wise theories for variable angle tow composites based on the Generalized Unified Formulation
Luciano Demasi,Giacomo Biagini,Giacomo Biagini,Federico Vannucci,Federico Vannucci,Enrico Santarpia,Enrico Santarpia,Rauno Cavallaro +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-theory architecture based on the Generalized Unified Formulation (GUF) is proposed to provide an accurate prediction of the displacement and stress fields in an efficient computational framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
PrandtlPlane Joined Wing: Body freedom flutter, limit cycle oscillation and freeplay studies
TL;DR: In this article, the aeroelastic behavior of a joined-wing PrandtlPlane configuration is investigated and the energy transfer between fluid and structure is carried out; the areas in which energy is extracted from the fluid are identified to gain insights on the mechanism leading to the instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimum Induced Drag Theorems for Joined Wings, Closed Systems, and Generic Biwings: Theory
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that the augmented Munk's minimum induced drag theorem is also applicable to closed systems, joined wings and generic biwings, and the nonuniqueness of the optimal circulation for a closed wing system is rigorously addressed.
