  1. 1. The perfect wing, The perfect trade-off? : What implements the main selection pressure on wing morphology?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Emme MacDonald; [2023]
    Keywords : Bird; wing morphology; migration; habitat; aspect ratio; wing loading;

    Abstract : Selection pressure is a constant force in evolution, pushing birds and their wings towards an optimal shape and structure, were increasing performance, and minimizing the costs is central. But even though the science of aerodynamics can provide calculations of the optimal construction for the wing in different situations this rarely directly correspond to what is observed in nature.

  3. 2. Green Raven Structural Design : Optimization of Internal Structure for Blended Wing Bodies

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Oscar Ehrler; Anton Holmén; [2022]
    Keywords : UAV; Blended wing body; BWB; wing structure; Scots pine; Fiber reinforced plastic; FRP; Off axis loading of fiber reinforced plastic; wing mount;

    Abstract : The student inclusive Green Raven project of the KTH-Aero faculty requireda small blended wing model of their new flying wing design. The small scalemodel will be used for various flight tests. The goal of this specific project was tocreate an internal structure for the small scale model, including an outer shell. READ MORE

  4. 3. Linear and non-linear FE-analysis of cracking behavior of wing walls in integral bridges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Andreas Ekman; Christoffer Sandin; [2018]
    Keywords : Non linear FE-modelling; Concrete Damage Plasticity; Wing wall; Crack propagation; Serviceability Limit State; Slab Frame Bridge; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Wing walls on slab frame integral bridges has traditionally been designed for mainly earth pressure and its self-weight. It has also been designed separately from the rest of the bridge. Traditionally no 3D effects have been considered in the design of the wing walls. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transport Aircraft Conceptual Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Albin Karlsson; Anton Lomaeus; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A conceptual design for a transport aircraft has been created, tailored for human-itarian missions along the equator with its home base in the European Union while optimizing for fuel eciency and speed. An initial estimate of the empty weight was made using historical data and Breguet equations, based on a required payload of 60 tonnes and range of 5 500 nautical miles. READ MORE
