Active Aeroelastic Structures integrate aircraft aerodynamics, controls, and structure to harness and control aeroelastic twist at high speeds and dynamic pressures. We work on aircraft aeroelasticity with attention to designing for stability, weight reduction, structural durability, passenger comfort, noise reduction, and fuel efficiency. We are able to test our research in A&A’s 3X3 wind tunnel and the Kirsten Wind Tunnel, an advantage that we have here at the UW.
