Geometrically Nonlinear Aeroelastic Scaling
Aeroelastic scaling methodologies are developed for geometrically nonlinear applications. The new methods are demonstrated by designing an aeroelastically scaled model of a suitably nonlinear full-scale joined-wing aircraft. The best of the methods produce scaled models that closely replicate the …
