Passive Aeroelastic Tailoring
Abstract
The Passive Aeroelastic Tailoring (PAT) project was tasked with investigating novel methods to achieve passive aeroelastic tailoring on high aspect ratio wings. The goal of the project was to identify structural designs or topologies that can improve performance and/or reduce structural weight for high-aspect ratio wings. This project considered two unique approaches, which were pursued in parallel: through-thickness topology optimization and composite tow-steering.
