Characterization of Oscillatory Lift in MFC Airfoils
… characterize the response of an airfoil with an oscillatory morphing, Macro-fiber composite (MFC) trailing edge. Correlation of the airfoil lift with the oscillatory input is presented. Modal analysis of the test airfoil and apparatus is used to determine the frequency response function. The …

Inline motion in flapping foils for improved force vectoring performance
… means to either substantially augment the mean lift, or reduce oscillatory lift and increase thrust. Additionally, I show that the use of a model-based optimization scheme, driving a sequence of experimental runs, allows the ability for flapping foils to tightly vector and keep the force in the …
