- Embry-Riddle Scholarly Commons 2016 ERAU Conference paper
Late Morning Concurrent Sessions: Innovations in Aviation Technologies: Presentation: Wingsuit Materials Research – The Effect of Currently Used Materials on Wingsuit Aerodynamics.
While wingsuit flight is exhilarating and one of the fastest growing facets of sport skydiving, current wingsuit performance is poor at best.

Kinematic Effects in Large Transport Aircraft
The control of an aircraft relies on sensory feedback. It follows that any aspect that could create a situation where that feedback is faulty can lead to unintended outcomes.

Effects of thrust reversing in ground proximity
The changes in stability and control characteristics encountered by a thrust reversing aircraft during its final approach, landing, and ground roll are described.

Effects of ground proximity on a low aspect ratio propulsive wing/canard configuration
The effect of near proximity to the ground are investigated on a low aspect ratio propulsive wing/canard concept at STOL conditions. Data were obtained on a wing/body and wing/body/canard configuration at various heights…

Safety hazard of aircraft icing
The problem of aircraft icing is reported as well as the type of aircraft affected, the pilots involved, and an identification of the areas where reduction in icing accidents are readily accomplished.

Deep-Stall Aerodynamic Characteristics of T-Tail Aircraft
A wind-tunnel research program has been under-taken by the NASA to study the aerodynamic characteristics of T-tail aircraft at high angles of attack.

Large Eddy Simulation of Aircraft Wake Vortices: Atmospheric Turbulence Effects
Crow instability can develop in most atmospheric turbulence levels, however, the ring vortices may not form in extremely strong turbulence cases due to strong dissipation of the vortices.

Effect of ground and ceiling planes on shape of energized wakes
Results are presented from an investigation of the structure of energized wakes in the presence of ground or ceiling planes when powered-lift devices are tested at zero and low wind tunnel velocities.

An analytical method for ditching analysis of an airborne vehicle
A simple analytical method has been introduced for aerohydrodynamic load analysis of an airborne configuration during water ditching. The method employs an aerodynamic panel code, based on linear potential flow theory, t…
