“…On the other hand, for aircraft with non-conventional lifting architecture, such as box-wing configurations, such correlations may need generalisations that differ from the established findings known for classical tube-and-wing aircraft, and this study aims to offer such results at a conceptual level. The stability and control investigation of advanced and unconventional aircraft configuration is hence a generally relevant topic, see [29][30][31][32]. For example, for blended wing body configurations [33][34][35], a comprehensive study on the stability characteristics is reported in [36].…”

This paper presents a study on the aeromechanical characteristics of a box-wing aircraft configuration with a focus on stability, controllability, and the impact of aeromechanical constraints on the lifting system conceptual design. In the last decade, the box-wing concept has been the subject of several investigations in the aeronautical scientific community, as it has the potential to improve classic aerodynamic performance, aiming at reducing fuel consumption per unit of payload transported, and thus contributing to a reduction in aviation greenhouse emissions. This study characterises the aeromechanical features of a box-wing aircraft, with a specific focus on the correlations between the aeromechanical constraints and the (main) aircraft design parameters. The proposed approach provides specific insights into the aeromechanical characteristics of the box-wing concept, both in the longitudinal and lateral plane, which are useful to define some overall design criteria generally applicable when dealing with the conceptual design of such an unconventional aircraft configuration.
