wing planform

The shape or form of a wing as viewed from the top. It may be swept back, delta tapered, straight, elliptical, rectangular, or any other shape.

The schematic of the wing planform is shown in Figure 1, where two coordinate systems are also defined: one is the inertial coordinate system (OXYZ) and the other is the wing-fixed coordinate system (O[G.sub.x][G.sub.y][G.sub.z]).

It boasted the new semi-tapered wing planform first available on the Warrior in 1975 and by then common across all PA-28 models.

This paper explores the application of a robust Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) for the design and optimisation of aerofoil sections and wing planform of UAVs and UCAVs.

The improvement of the aerodynamic performance of UAV/UCAVs can be achieved by optimising the aerofoil shapes for the aerofoil sections (2, 5, 8, 17, 22) and wing planform (3), (12, 13, 25).

In this test considered, the external geometry of the wing planform is fixed as illustrated in Fig.

For stealth purposes, the wing planform shape is assumed as an aero-diamond shape with jagged trailing edge which is convenient for deflecting radar echoes away from the source (15), 28.

The wing planform shape is parameterised by considering the variables described in Fig.

Effect of Wing Planform. Effects on the section lift coefficient and the induced drag by different parameters discussed above are all based on that the canard as well as the wing is straight rectangular wing.

One of these, the ML Inflatable, was given the somewhat irreverent nickname of `the Durex Delta,' owing to its wing planform and its rubberised fabric construction.

Airborne Options for Special Forces

Key technology areas include extreme wing planforms, critical parafoil sections and wing structures with emphasis on internal pressure control through standard manoeuvres.

The man who fell to earth: parachutes have been providing soft landings for people who have needed to leave flying objects, either in an emergency or by design, for more than a century, enabling escape from damaged aircraft and the delivery of troops behind enemy lines during airborne assaults or special forces insertions

All of the Pipistrel airplanes are unique for having evolved from gliders, so they have slender, exceptionally light fuselages, high aspect-ratio wing planforms and low drag.
