Aerodynamic Properties of the Inboard Wing Concept
… a new concept in airliner configurations from an experimental aerodynamics point of view. The concept proposes mounting the fuselages at the tips of a low aspect ratio wing. The motivation for this configuration is to provide an increase in the number of passengers carried with no increase in span …

A Study of Ship Airwakes Using Dual Plane Stereoscopic PIV
<p>The airwake of a model Simple Frigate Shape 2 (SFS2) was studied in a low-speed wind tunnel. This airwake was measured using a novel time-dependent, dual plane, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry approach. Two flow planes over the flight deck, one parallel and one perpendicular to the …

Measurements of Wings at Very Low Reynolds Numbers
Very low Reynolds number aerodynamics is a rapidly growing field of interest, especially in regard to the design and development of micro- and nano-air vehicles. In the work culminating in this thesis, force measurement apparatuses were designed and prototyped to measure wing performance at very …

Experimental Characterization of Additively Manufactured Multi-Feather Wingtip Devices
… of these birds, the proposed thesis presents an experimental investigation focused on wingtip devices designed based on biomimicry. The overarching engineering objective was to reduce the induced drag as a means to improve the fuel efficiency via these experimental wingtips. An associated …

Measurement of aerodynamic characteristics of MAVs using motion tracking
… addressed in aeronautics literature, and more experimental data are required to help better understand the behavior of fixed-wing MAVs. In the current research, aerodynamic and stability characteristics of two MAVs were measured using a motion tracking system. Both the aircraft position and …
