In this talk\, recent efforts in developing small\, fixed and flapping wing flight vehic les are discussed. As the vehicle sizes vary\, non-proportional scaling be tween areas and weight\, and\, accordingly\, shifting dominance of physica l mechanisms create different operating parameters and technical requireme nts. In this seminar\, examples drawn from both canonical cases as well as developed flight vehicles will be presented. Unsteady aerodynamics via wi ng motion and softer materials under uncertain flight environments are som e of the main focus of the talk.\n\nAbout Professor Wei Shyy:\nProfessor W ei Shyy is a Chair Professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Te chnology (Guangzhou). He was President of the Hong Kong University of Scie nce and Technology and Chair Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Enginee ring. Prior to joining HKUST in 2010\, he was Clarence L. “Kelly” John son Collegiate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Aerospace Engin eering of the University of Michigan.\nHe was the Principal Investigator o f several multi-institutional research projects\, funded by the US Governm ent and industries\, on future space transport\, bio-inspired flight\, and computational aero-science. He is General Editor of the Cambridge Aerospa ce Book Series published by the Cambridge University Press\; and Co-Editor -in-Chief of Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering\, a major reference wor k published by Wiley-Blackwell.\n\nProfessor Shyy is an elected member of Academia Sinica (Taipei)\, an agenda contributor of the World Economic For um\, and Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He has received awards for his research and professional contribut ions\, including the AIAA 2003 Pendray Aerospace Literature Award\, the AS ME 2005 Heat Transfer Memorial Award\, and The Engineers’ Council (Sherm an Oaks\, CA) 2009 Distinguished Educator Award. In 2021\, the French Gove rnment made him an Officer of the Legion of Honor. In 2023\, the Internati onal Conference on Computational &\; Experimental Engineering and Scien ces (ICCES) honored him the Satya N. Atluri Award.\n\n \;\n Details: \ n CATEGORIES:Seminars LOCATION:Auditorium 235\, the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering\, Technion X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Faculty of Aerospace En gineering\, the Technion\, Haifa\, Israel;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Audit orium 235:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Jerusalem X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Jerusalem BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241027T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0300 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:IST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
