NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF A WINGLET SWEEP ANGLE AND WINGLET TIP CHORD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PERFORMANCE

Numerical analysis and optimization of a winglet sweep angle and winglet tip chord for improvement of aircraft flight performance

In the present research, an investigation of the influence of winglet sweep angle and winglet tip chord of the aircraft wing on the aerodynamics properties and how to make it better has been carried out, assuming Cant angle 60, winglet height = 3.5 m, Toe angle = -5, and Twist angle = +5.Sweep angles (-25, -15, 0, NETTLE ROOT +15, +25, +35, and +45

Ballistic performance of functionally graded B4C/Al composites without abrupt interfaces: experiments and simulations

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are promising protective structures for lightweight armor plates because of their features and designability.However, traditional discretely layered FGMs with macroscopic interfaces can generate unfavorable interlaminar stresses under ballistic attacks, eventually leading to delamination or interlayer tearing.He
