Simulation and Aerodynamic Analysis of the Flow Around the Sailplane Using CFD Techniques by Sebastian Marian ZAHARIA

“…In this paper, it was described the analysis and simulation process using the CFD technique and the phenomena that shows up in the engineering aero-spatial practice, directing the studies of simulation for the air flows around sailplane. The analysis and aerodynamic simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques (CFD) are well set as instruments in the development process of an aeronautical product. …”

Longitudinal Stability Criteria for a Propeller-Driven Aircraft by Gil Iosilevskii

“…It is demonstrated that most aircraft have sufficiently small inertia to remain stable as long as their center-of-gravity is properly placed. At the same time, sailplane-like aircraft (as, e.g., long endurance UAVs), with an engine installed at the rear extremity of the aircraft, may have sufficiently high inertia to become unstable regardless of their center-of-gravity placement.…”

Gliding swifts attain laminar flow over rough wings. by David Lentink, Roeland de Kat

“…Wing roughness height is 1-2% of chord length on the upper surface--10,000 times rougher than sailplane wings. Sailplanes depend on extreme wing smoothness to increase the area of laminar flow on the wing surface and minimize drag for extended glides. …”
