Airfoil Shape Morphing through a Novel Parameterization and Fitting Optimization Method Based on Uniform Non-Rational B-Spline Functions

The aim of this work is to implement an innovative parameterization and fitting procedure for the definition of a mathematical model useful to describe a wide range of airfoils. They are partitioned into three sections: central box, leading edge, and trailing edge. Each section is mathematically rep...
