Active Flight Path Control for an Induced Spin Flight Termination System
In this thesis, we describe a method for controlling the cycle-averaged velocity direction of a fixed-wing aircraft in an unpowered, helical descent. While the aircraft propulsion system is disabled, either intentionally or due to a failure, the aerodynamic control surfaces (aileron, elevator, and …

On the development of computer code for aircraft flight dynamics analysis
The stability analysis of the aircraft can be evaluated in two flight modes: longitudinal stability analysis and the lateral – directional stability analysis. The present work focused on the second mode of flight. The stability analysis carried out by evaluates the behavior of three flight …

Design Demonstration and Optimization of a Morphing Aircraft Control Surface Using Flexible Matrix Composite Actuators
The morphing of aircraft wings for flight control started as a necessity for the Wright Brothers but quickly fell out of favor as aircraft increased speed. Currently morphing aircraft control is one of many ideas being explored as we seek to improve aircraft efficiency, reduce noise, and other …

Implementing and testing a panel-based method for modeling acoustic scattering from CFD input
… of sailors to high levels of noise in the aircraft carrier deck environment is a problem that has serious human and economic consequences. A variety of approaches to quieting exhausting jets from high-performance aircraft are undergoing development. However, testing of noise abatement …
