Integrated Design of a Morphing Winglet for Active Load Control and Alleviation of Turboprop Regional Aircraft

Integrated Design of a Morphing Winglet for Active Load Control and Alleviation of Turboprop Regional Aircraft

Aircraft winglets are well-established devices that improve aircraft fuel efficiency by enabling a higher lift over drag ratios and lower induced drag. Retrofitting winglets to existing aircraft also increases aircraft payload/range by the same order of the fuel burn savings, although the additional...
