Flexible Skin for Flight Parameter Estimation Based on Pressure and Velocity Data Fusion by Xin Na, Zheng Gong, Zihao Dong, Dawei Shen, Deyuan Zhang, Yonggang Jiang

“…However, traditional flush air data sensing (FADS) systems require complex tubing and fuselage openings. Herein this study, a flexible skin system integrated with a pressure and thermal flow sensor array, and a dual‐sensor fusion algorithm for determining the angle of attack (AOA) and airspeed (V ∞ ), are proposed. …”

Evaluation of Joint Clearance Effects on the Shimmy of Nose Landing Gear by Yiyao Jiang, Guang Feng, Panglun Liu, Li Yuan, Jianbin Ding, Bingyan Jiang

“…The study found that different joint clearances have different effects on shimmy: the joint clearance between the NLG and fuselage has little influence on shimmy; the larger axial clearance of upper and lower torque link joint will cause the shimmy of the NLG, but the radial clearance has no effect on shimmy; while the joint clearance between turning sleeve and upper torque link, lower torque link and piston only works in the axial and radial coupling. …”

Unleashing the Potential of Morphing Wings: A Novel Cost Effective Morphing Method for UAV Surfaces, Rear Spar Articulated Wing Camber by Emre Ozbek, Selcuk Ekici, T. Hikmet Karakoc

“…By allowing manipulation of the 2D and 3D parameters on the aircraft’s wings, tail surfaces, or fuselage, a variety of possibilities have arisen. Two primary schools of thought have emerged in the field of morphing wing applications: the mechanisms school and the smart surfaces approach that uses shape-memory materials and smart actuators. …”
