In the research topic of aeroelastic design, we deal with various design tasks in the context of the aeroelastic design of an aircraft, an aircraft component or a wind tunnel model. The development of ...

Reduced-order modelling (ROM) of aeroelastic dynamics seeks to bridge the gap between high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or experimental data and the practical demands of design, control ...

Aeroelastic analysis of composite structures examines the interaction between aerodynamic loads and the elastic response of layered fibre-reinforced materials. Composite laminates, prized for their ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...

In a collaboration between the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR, Göttingen, Germany) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM, Munich, Germany), researchers ...

Wings with longer spans and lower weight generate less drag – and are therefore more energy efficient. More efficient lift could reduce kerosene consumption and thus reduce emissions and costs. The ...

The Aeroelastic Simulation Department focuses on the numerical analysis of aeroelastic problems. Investigations for transport aircraft, small aircraft, turbomachines and rotorcraft are performed in ...

Test Video Shows Interesting Structural Capabilities of Advanced Aircraft Like B-2. This remarkable video of a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit stealth bomber undergoing wing flutter testing on June 14, ...
