WIND TUNNEL FLUTTER TEST OF AEROELASTIC MODEL AE1 SUCCESFULLY COMPLETED!

May 2023 The first week of May, 2023, the flutter test of aeroelastic model AE1 has been successfully completed at POLIMI’s Large Wind tunnel. Different velocities, angles of attack as well as chordwise positions of the strut- wing connection have been successfully tested. The identification phase has been carried out combining an air jet

DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, AND DELIVERY OF AEROELASTIC MODEL AE1

May 2023 The aeroelastic wind tunnel model named AE1 represents a constant Froude scaled model of the strut-braced wing configuration including both wing and structure. It is conceived for the preliminary low speed flutter investigations and for a limited number of sensitivity analysis. The model has been conceived by ONERA, POLIMI and IBK, while

CS2-U-HARWARD Project: Design finalization of AE1 Wind Tunnel Model

July 2022 The mechanical design of the wind tunnel model named AE1 has been completed by IBK. The model is composed by the wing plus the strut and will be tested at POLIMI’s Large Wind Tunnel facility for flutter investigation. It is an aeroelastic model, constant Froude scaled by POLIMI with respect to the

U-Harward Project | Ultra High Aspect Ratio Wing Advanced Research and Designs

U-HARWARD will consider the use of innovative aerodynamic and aeroelastic designs in a multi-fidelity multi-disciplinary optimal design approach to facilitate the development of Ultra-High aspect ratio wings for large transport aircraft. A conceptual design study, building on the current state of the art, will perform trade-off studies to determine the potential gains of different wing configurations and loads alleviation concepts in terms of aerodynamics, weight, noise, fuel-burn and range. Scaled model wind tunnel tests will be used to validate parametric variations in the aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics. Starting from a reference aircraft, the preliminary design of the best candidate configuration will be completed and the estimated gains validated using high fidelity tools and a larger scale aeroelastic test.
