Description
In the project "High-fidelity Aeroelastic Prediction" - funded by the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI) and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd - we focus on numerical aeroelasticity, i.e. on an approach based on the high-fidelity aerodynamic and structural description of an aircraft, aimed at predicting the dynamic behaviour of the latter throughout the flight envelope (altitude, mass and speed or Mach number).
