Effect of Flexibility on Aircraft Wing
Abstract: The shape of the aerofoil determines how the air circulates around it and how much moment and force will be the acting on it. When the body is rigid (fixed) flow around the geometry remains unchanged at particular A.O.A. (angle of attack), but if the body is allowed to be flexible (free) i.e., it can deform its shape, due to which there will be a significant change in the shape …
