Aeroelastic design for next-generation civil transport aircraft
At LoCA Lab we have been developing SHARPy into a multifunctional toolbox for aeroelastic analysis and design. My current research leverages the capabilities of particularly the multibody solver to explore the optimal design of flexibility-dominated wing assemblies with span and/or tip mechanisms.
In collaboration with Airbus UK, the work will feed into the understanding and validation of design strategies for in different flight envelopes, as part of the wider global effort to decarbonise aviation.
With code-to-experiment and code-to-code comparisons I aim to build on the capabilities of SHARPy to become an accessible, comprehensive suite for future academic/industrial nonlinear aircraft design.
