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
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.
