Abstract

SHARPy: A dynamic aeroelastic simulation toolbox for very flexible aircraft and wind turbines

Highlights

  • Solar-powered High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) aircraft have recently seen very significant progress

  • Aeroelasticity is the study of the dynamic interaction between unsteady aerodynamics and structural dynamics on flexible streamlined bodies, which may include rigid-body dynamics

  • Industry standard solutions in aeronautics and wind energy are built on the assumption of small structural displacements, which lead to linear or quasi-linear theories

Summary

Introduction

Solar-powered High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) aircraft have recently seen very significant progress. Aeroelasticity is the study of the dynamic interaction between unsteady aerodynamics and structural dynamics on flexible streamlined bodies, which may include rigid-body dynamics. Industry standard solutions in aeronautics and wind energy are built on the assumption of small structural displacements, which lead to linear or quasi-linear theories.
