Sugar-Gabor, O. (2017). Discrete adjoint-based simultaneous analysis and design approach for conceptual aerodynamic optimization. Incas Bulletin, 9(3), 133-147. https://doi.org/10.13111/2066-8201.2017.9.3.11

In this paper, a simultaneous analysis and design method is derived and applied for a non-linear constrained aerodynamic optimization problem. The method is based on the approach of defining a Lagrange functional based on the objective function and t...

Morphing wing application on Hydra Technologies UAS-S4 (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Segui, M., Sugar-Gabor, O., Koreanschi, A., & Botez, R. (2017, February). Morphing wing application on Hydra Technologies UAS-S4. Presented at IASTED Modelling, Identification and Control 2017 Conference, Innsbruck, Austria

This paper presents the aerodynamic results of a morphing wing study performed on the UAS S4 Éhecatl from Hydra Technologies. Only the cruise phase of the aircraft was considered (constant altitude and constant speed). The difference, from an aerodyn...

New methodology for longitudinal flight dynamics modelling of the UAS-S4 Ehecatl towards its aerodynamics estimation modelling (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Kuitche, M., Segui, M., Botez, R., Sugar-Gabor, O., & Ghazi, G. (2017, January). New methodology for longitudinal flight dynamics modelling of the UAS-S4 Ehecatl towards its aerodynamics estimation modelling. Presented at AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference, AIAA SciTech Forum 2017, Grapevine, Texas, USA

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle modelling has found diverse utilities in both civil and military applications. In order to develop an accurate model of their flight dynamics, it is important to properly estimate their aerodynamics coefficients. For this pu...
