This dissertation focuses on the study of the innovative PrandtlPlane aircraft. The PrandtlPlane is the application in aeronautical engineering of an unconventional aerodynamic concept based on the Best Wing System theory, postulated by Prandtl one century ago; the lifting system of this configuration is a box-wing properly designed to minimise the induced drag. The study […]
The book “Aviation Noise Impact Management” is now online
Last year, several research teams involved in more than 50 EU funded projects all over Europe have been invited to contribute to a book called “Aviation Noise Impact Management”. The book, edited by Laurent Leylekian (ONERA), Alexandra Covrig (Airport Regions Council) and Alena Maximova (Airport Regions Council) and published by Springer, is now online and […]
M.Sc. Thesis concluded: “Aeroelastic study of aircraft with box-wing architecture using a medium-low fidelity code”
After a 6 months internship at XSun (France), the student Andri Dine has concluded a M.Sc. thesis aimed at evaluating the capabilities of a low fidelity aeroelastic tool in defining the aero-structrual behaviour of box-wing aircraft since the early stages of the design. Reference: Dine, A., “Studio aeroelastico di velivoli con architettura box-wing mediante un […]
Internship and thesis opportunity at AURA AERO company (Toulouse, France)
In the development of electric A/C, the integration of systems and batteries imply new challenges in the fields of Loads and Flutter assessment. The main activities are focused on loads and flutter assessment of electric A/C. The objective of the internship is to contribute to the development of a toolbox for computational aeroelasticity in an […]
