Whiffling-inspired gapped wings alter trim and mitigate gusts

Abstract: Some species of birds are known to whiffle, or fly inverted, in order to rapidly lose altitude, move laterally, or respond to gusts and atmospheric disturbances. Recently, gaps inspired by the bio-mechanics of whiffling have been found to change the forces and moments of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) wing. These novel gapped wings have been studied in terms of rapid descent and roll control. However, their potential as gust alleviation devices and overall impact on aircraft dynamics remained unknown. Here, … Show more
