Multibody Dynamics Modeling of Flexible Aircraft Flight Dynamics

Because of the focus on weight minimization, aircraft are becoming more and more flexible. Therefore, the frequency separation between flight mechanics motion and structural vibration decreases. This calls for a flight mechanics model that includes aeroelasticity. The development of such a model was the subject of the current research. This...

Wind farm energy: Design Synthesis Exercise Spring 2011; Group S12: Final report

This technical report was written as a part of the Design Synthesis Exercise (DSE), part of the third year Aerospace Engineering Bachelor curriculum of the Delft University of Technology. Ten students, together forming DSE group S12, have worked together for eleven weeks to come to this result. The report describes the design of an innovative...
