Abstract
The critical flutter speed, along with the associated stability and safety of a folding-wing aircraft, has been evaluated for variable wing configurations based on traditional designs. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation validation, the contributions of parameters such as the hinge stiffness, sweep angle, and folding angle on the flutter and stability of the folding wing are investigated in detail. It is observed that under a specified safe hinge stiffness, the proposed variable-sweep folding-wing configuration can enhance the critical flutter speed at a dangerous folding angle. Through the joint manipulation of the folding and sweep angles, the aerodynamic drag of the folding wing was reduced, thereby enhancing its flight speed and flutter boundaries. This paper aims to provide novel insights into the design and stability analysis of variable-wing configurations.
