Morphing Wings Technologies: Large Commercial Aircraft and Civil
Helicopters offers a fresh look at current research on morphing
aircraft, including industry design, real manufactured prototypes
and certification. This is an invaluable reference for students in
the aeronautics and aerospace fields who need an introduction to
the morphing discipline, as well as senior professionals seeking
exposure to morphing potentialities. Practical applications of
morphing devices are presented-from the challenge of conceptual
design incorporating both structural and aerodynamic studies, to
the most promising and potentially flyable solutions aimed at
improving the performance of commercial aircraft and UAVs. Morphing
aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape
substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during
flight. The book consists of eight sections as well as an appendix
which contains both updates on main systems evolution (skin,
structure, actuator, sensor, and control systems) and a survey on
the most significant achievements of integrated systems for large
commercial aircraft.
'The text is well written and supported by clear and useful
illustrations. This would be a useful textbook for postgraduate or
advanced undergraduate studies and would also make a good
introductory text for engineers moving into the field. The
literature survey and bibliography provide a useful starting point
for further study.'The Aeronautical JournalActive Control of
Aircraft Cabin Noise provides a bridge to fill the gap between
robust control theory and practical applications of active noise
control systems in aircraft cabin. Both the possibilities and
limitations of structural solutions to enhance aircraft cabin
comfort by reducing interior noise are discussed supported by a
wide range of topics in engineering, from finite element modeling
to multichannel adaptive feed-forward control, usually dealt
separately in the literature. In addition, experimental noise
attenuation results with passengers' subjective perceptions
predicting the effects of cabin noise on comfort assessments is
examined. Theoretical and experimental research is detailed enough
to capture the interest of the non-expert in engineering who wishes
to have an overview of some of the active noise control
applications in aircraft. This book may be used as an advanced
textbook by graduate and undergraduate students in aeronautical
engineering, and would be an authoritative resource book for
research into the subject.
