In recent days, wing kits are extensively used to convert conventional munitions into guided munitions. The wing kit integration enables munitions to gain standoff attack capability, extends their range and together with a laser guidance system, adds moving target tracking capability. Typical wing kits are usually composed of two main wings, however, some of them have a joined-wing configuration where the aft wings can support the main wings in order to increase maneuverability, range performance and structural performance. In this study, since the geometry and sweep angle of front wings are kept fixed due to aerodynamic effects in operating conditions, joined-wing configurations are investigated by changing two key parameters, namely; aft wing sweep angle and location of the joint. Response surface methodology is used in order to determine how these parameters affect the vibration characteristics of the joined-wing configurations. In numerical analyses, the natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes for the configurations are obtained by using ANSYS software. Then the results of selected configurations are verified via modal testing so as to achieve accurate finite element models of the joined-wing configurations.

Design and control of nose actuation kit for position correction of spin stabilized munitions under wind effect Eroğlu, Mesut; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) Unguided munitions have been replaced with guided munitions over the century. There are two main reasons for this change; to increase damage to target with fewer munitions and reduce collateral damage due to deflection of munitions. Moreover, there are two options, building new guided munitions and modification of unguided munitions to convert dummy munitions to smart ones. Modifying unguided munitions to have guided munitions instead of building a completely new one is preferable due to economic reasons. T...
Effects of design parameters on the aeroelastic performance of a cruise missile wing Ertürk, Burak; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work since the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally safe. Furthermore, the wing needs to satisfy other considerations such as propulsion, weight, flight performance, sizing for launch platform integration and other measures of merit. In order to meet these design requirements and achieve a successful design, several parameters of the wing need to be investigated at various flight conditions. In this thesis, aeroelas...
External configuration design and aerodynamic optimization of modular guided munitions Gün, Mert; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) Guided munitions, also known as gliding missiles, are not stand alone systems; rather, they are converted from a dummy body with the help of guidance kits. Guided munitions are used in great number during military operations, unlike air-to-air or cruise missiles. Guided munitions can be classified in two main sub-categories. First group provides guidance and stability with use of strakes. These type of missiles used for relatively short ranges. Second group has wings instead of strakes and effective in larg...
Effect of proton scavengers on the textural properties and performance of Fe2O3 xerogels for boron containing pyrotechnics Yilmaz, Nil E. Dinçer; Karakaş, Gürkan (2017-01-01) Currently used rockets and missile igniter systems are mostly based on the pyrotechnic blends of fuels and oxidizers. In this study nano-sized boron was used as fuel because of its high heat of combustion, low atomic weight and high energy density. Iron oxide was used as an oxidizer and synthesized by sol-gel method by using various types of proton scavengers. In the experiments Fe(NO3)3·9H2O was used as a precursor and a wide range of proton scavengers (propylene oxide, 1,2 epoxybutane, tetrahydrofuran, te...
ADJOINT-BASED AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A STRAKE-DELTA WING CONFIGURATION Yutük, Kaan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-11-8) Modern fighter aircraft compulsorily demand high maneuverability capability, which is mainly provided by an improved aerodynamic performance at high angles of attack. This is achieved by mostly employing strakes and canards. In this study, adjoint-based configuration and leading edge shape optimizations of a strake on a double-delta wing configuration are performed. SU2 is employed for flow and adjoint solutions. SU2 flow solutions are first verified on solutions for adaptive grids. In the configuration opt...
