This paper presents the identification of the aerodynamic model of the "Flying-V", a novel aircraft configuration. The aerodynamic model is estimated using flight test data from a 4.6\% sub-scale model. The dataset includes longitudinal and lateral-directional maneuvers performed by both the pilot and the autopilot to excite the aircraft dynamic...

The use of hybrid-electric propulsion (HEP) entails several potential benefits such as the distribution of power along the airframe, which enables synergistic configurations with improved aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive preliminary sizing method suitable for the conceptual design process of...

Blended wing body (BWB) aircraft represent a paradigm shift in jet transport aircraft design that promise benefits over conventional aircraft. A method is presented to enable the conceptual design of BWB aircraft, enabling comparison studies with tube-and-wing aircraft (TAW) based on the same top-level requirements and analysis fidelity. The...

The potential benefits of hybrid-electric propulsion (HEP) have led to an increased interest in this topic over the past decade. One promising advantage of HEP is the distribution of power along the airframe, which enables synergistic configurations with improved aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to present a...

To design a high-altitude long-endurance UAV to fly a twenty-hour reconnaissance mission at an altitude of 80,000ft, was the assignment for this year’s undergraduate design competition. The competition was organized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Three students from Delft demonstrated superior design skills,...
