Laar, Y.A. (author), Atherstone, D.M. (author), Benad, J. (author), Vos, Roelof (author)The Flying V is a long-range, flying-wing aircraft where payload and fuel both reside in a V-shaped, crescent wing with large winglets that double as vertical tail planes. The objective of this study is to maximize the lift-to-drag (L/D) ratio of the Flying V in cruise conditions, i.e. CL= 0.26, M = 0.85 and to investigate its off-design...conference paper 2024

Ruiz Garcia, A. (author), Brown, M.T.H. (author), Atherstone, D.M. (author), van Arnhem, N. (author), Vos, Roelof (author)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...conference paper 2022
