Dor Naftaly | Modern aircraft designs are trending toward increasingly lightweight, high-aspect-ratio, and highly flexible configurations for improved aerodynamic efficiency and performance. As structural flexibility increases, the traditional separation between flight dynamics and aeroelasticity becomes less valid: elastic deformations influence rigid-body motion, and maneuver-induced accelerations and loads impact the structural response. This study investigates the coupled flight dynamics and aeroelastic behavior of flexible aircraft, focusing on the effects of maneuvering on flutter instability.

Din Ben Adva | The talk presents two recent studies examining the emergence of corner-flow circulation in confined geometries at highly rarefied conditions, where the characteristic length scale is comparable to the molecular mean free path of the gas.
