Modeling, simulation and analysis of a multi degree of freedom aircraft wing model

Abstract

This paper presented methods to determine the aerodynamic forces that act<br />on an aircraft wing during flight. These methods are initially proposed for a<br />simplified two degree-of-freedoms airfoil model and then are extensively<br />applied for a multi-degree-of-freedom airfoil system. Different airspeed<br />conditions are considered in establishing such methods. The accuracy of the<br />presented methods is verified by comparing the estimated aerodynamic forces<br />with the actual values. A good agreement is achieved through the comparisons<br />and it is verified that the present methods can be used to correctly identify the<br />aerodynamic forces acting on the aircraft wing models.
