Experimental Investigation into the Control and Load Alleviation Capabilities of Articulated Winglets

An experimental investigation into the real-time flow and control characteristics of a flying wing with articulated winglets is described in this paper. The philosophy of the concept centres around the use of active, in-flight adjustment of each wing's winglet dihedral angle, both as a primary...
