The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work, since the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally safe. In order to meet the design requirements and achieve a successful design, several parameters of the wing need to be investigated at various flight conditions. In this paper, lift forces and flutter speeds are obtained for different wing geometries, at various altitudes and speeds. The design of experiments is constructed by changing the several variables of the wing to have better understanding of the effect of design parameters. The aerodynamic analyses for predicting the lift force are performed by using FLUENT and the aeroelastic analyses for the determination of the flutter speed are conducted by using ZAERO package programs.

Generic trim analysis and simulation algorithm creation for design and optimization of the fixed wing aircraft
Özdemir, Mustafa; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2021-09-10)
In order to design a fixed wing aircraft, certain phases are needed to perform. From these phases, trim analysis and simulation are very crucial for design process. Trim and simulation analysis enable to calculate performance and stability characteristics of the aircraft. After aerodynamic, weight and engine database creation, the next step is trim analysis and simulations. However, database creation phase requires a huge amount of computing time, and for the preliminary design phase it is needed to perform...
Designing autopilot and guidance algorithms to control translational and rotational dynamics of a fixed wing VTOL UAV
Güçlü, Anı; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020)
Guidance and autopilot algorithms are designed and applied to a fixed wing VTOL air vehicle. The algorithms are developed on a rotary wing and a fixed air vehicle. Each air vehicle is identified by experimentation to reduce the discrepancies among the system model and the actual air vehicles. Designed controllers for the air vehicles are deployed to Pixhawk Cube controller board. Indoor and outdoor flight tests are carried out. For the rotary wing air vehicle, active disturbance rejection control algorithms...
Simulation of the Transient Response of a Helicopter Turboshaft Engine to Hot-Gas Ingestion
Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2008-06-09)
Hot-Gas Ingestion (HGI) to the engines can potentially occur when a rotorcraft or a VTOL/STOVL fixed-wing aircraft is operating in close proximity to the ground. Especially for helicopters, due to the rotor downwash hot exhaust gases get recirculated into the engine inlet. Similar conditions may also occur due to the ingestion of hot exhaust gases from rocket launchers or gun fire. In this study, we present the results of a simulation of the transient response of a helicopter turboshaft engine to HGI. Speci...
