In the last years, aircraft disruptive configurations have been studied on view to increase civil air transport and safety of flight and, also, to reduce air pollution and noise. One of the promising configurations is the so called box wing, based on the Best Wing System concept by L. Prandtl. This paper presents an application […]

Most of the wing structures of modern leisure and sport aircraft, such as LSA, VLA, ultralights, etc., are made of composite materials. These latter allow for high surface quality and lower costs, if compared to metallic solutions with conventional riveted technology, which would be adopted as production volumes are small. Assuming a greater production volume, […]
