- Additional information
- First investigation into the use of tow-steered composite wing skins for novel designs of a full aircraft wing demonstrating how significant reductions in gust loads and wing weight, and hence fuel burn, can be achieved compared to conventional aeroelastic tailoring schemes. Work undertaken in collaboration with Airbus (contact P Kealy) as part of a ICASE award. Has led to further publications e.g. AIAA Journal 56 (11), and research projects (ATI - AWI project (contact P Wright)), DAWS (Contact M Aston) and BAESYSYSTEMS (contacts S Allaway, C Warsop). Material included in keynote talk at 2018 RAeS Applied Aerodynamics Conference.
