Abstract
Importance, Relevance and Applications of Smart Materials in Aircraft Control
Highlights
In most conventional aircraft, there are three principal motions used to achieve controllable flight
In this work, we have sought to outline the basics of conventional hydro-mechanical flight control and its limitations, before addressing how smart materials, shape memory alloys, can help overcome the inherent drawbacks of hydro-mechanical control and allow design and reliable control of more aerodynamically feasible wing configurations
A hydro-mechanical flight control system has two parts, namely, the mechanical circuit, which links the cockpit controls with the hydraulic circuits
Summary
There are three principal motions used to achieve controllable flight. Importance, Relevance and Applications of Smart Materials in Aircraft Control ABSTRACT In this work, we have sought to outline the basics of conventional hydro-mechanical flight control and its limitations, before addressing how smart materials, shape memory alloys, can help overcome the inherent drawbacks of hydro-mechanical control and allow design and reliable control of more aerodynamically feasible wing configurations.
