The trans-media aircraft water entry process generates strong slamming loads that will seriously affect the stability and safety of the aircraft. To address this problem, we design a fixed-wing aircraft configuration and employ numerical simulations...
A trans-medium aircraft is a new concept aircraft that can both dive in the water and fly in the air. In this paper, a new type of water–air multi-medium span vehicle is designed based on the water entry and exit structure model of a multi-rotor UAV....
Water–air trans-media unmanned vehicle is a kind of aircraft, which can freely fly in the air, sail in the water and pass through free surface. For trans-media aircrafts, the development process from air–surface to air–underwater an...
The variation in aerodynamic parameters during the process of a variable sweepback hybrid aerial underwater vehicle (HAUV) affects flight stability. During the air–water trans-media locomotion, there are medium mutations and solid–liquid...
The problem of aircraft entering and exiting water is a complex, nonlinear, strongly disturbed, and multi-coupled multiphase flow problem, which involves the precise capture of the air/water interface and the multi-coupling interaction between aircra...
Multi-functionality and high mission adaptability are important trends in the development of future aircrafts. Trans-domain aircraft, with their unique take-off and landing capabilities and cross-medium capability, have significant potential in the f...
The variant aircraft can flexibly change its shape to achieve the best sports performance under different flight environments and flight missions. Changing the shape of the wings is a major form of variant aircraft. In this paper, the kingfisher was...
