Continuous-time state-space unsteady aerodynamic modelling for efficient aeroelastic load analysis

Over the years, wings have become lighter and more flexible, making them more prone to aeroelastic effects. Thus, aeroelasticity in design becomes more important. In order to determine the response of an aircraft to, for example, a gust, an unsteady aerodynamic model is required to determine the dynamic loads. The three most-commonly used...
