The present paper deals with the take-off performance analysis of PrandtlPlane aircraft. The PrandtlPlane is a Box-Wing configuration based on Prandtl’s “Best Wing System” concept, which minimizes the induced drag once wingspan and lift are given. The take-off dynamics is simulated implementing the non-linear equations of motion in a numerical tool, which adopts a Vortex […]

M.Sc. Thesis concluded: “A New Approach for Loading a Fuselage Structure”
After a 7 months internship at the Gust Loads and Aeroelastics office of Airbus in Hamburg, the student Boris Micheli has concluded a M.Sc. thesis aimed at defining a new modeling strategy to idealize the fuselage from a dynamic perspective. This new dynamic model has allowed to handle non-structural masses and to take into account […]
