Integral aerodynamic-structural-control wing design
The aerodynamic-structural-control design of a simplified wing and a forward-swept composite wing are studied. In the first example, the wing is modeled as a beam with a control surface near the wing tip. The torsional stiffness is the only physical property varying along the span. The aerodynamic …
