Abstract
Unconventional configuration aircraft are not often designed due to many problems, mainly with stability and trim. However, they could be very promising and these problems can be compensated by extraordinary performance characteristics. Therefore, despite the difficulties in the design process, they are chosen, giving a chance to design and build a truly competitive aircraft. Paper presents the analysis of flying qualities of most often used unconventional configurations: canard, flying wing, three surface tandem wing and box wing. The stability analysis is presented in terms of basic static stability and full 6 DoF dynamic analysis. The flying qualities based on airworthiness regulation and MIL specification are presented and commented. Examples of results related to real projects realized during the last decade are presented and discussed.
期刊介绍:
"Progress in Aerospace Sciences" is a prestigious international review journal focusing on research in aerospace sciences and its applications in research organizations, industry, and universities. The journal aims to appeal to a wide range of readers and provide valuable information.
The primary content of the journal consists of specially commissioned review articles. These articles serve to collate the latest advancements in the expansive field of aerospace sciences. Unlike other journals, there are no restrictions on the length of papers. Authors are encouraged to furnish specialist readers with a clear and concise summary of recent work, while also providing enough detail for general aerospace readers to stay updated on developments in fields beyond their own expertise.
