Le ali volanti, hanno da sempre suscitato interesse per i vantaggi aerodinamici teorici che possiedono rispetto agli aerei tradizionali. La loro configurazione aerodinamica vanta infatti un'efficienza teorica superiore, traducendosi in potenziali benefici in termini di consumo di carburante e prestazioni di volo. Tuttavia, l'assenza di una coda comporta sfide uniche per quanto riguarda la stabilità e il controllo del velivolo. A differenza degli aerei con coda, le ali volanti devono affidarsi ad altri principi aerodinamici e a sistemi di controllo attivi per garantire un volo sicuro. In questo elaborato, ci concentreremo sull'analisi della stabilità delle ali volanti, esplorando i concetti di stabilità statica e dinamica e il loro intrinseco legame con l'efficienza aerodinamica.

Abstract
The concept of flying wings has gathered interest due to theoretical advantages in aerodynamics over conventional aircraft designs.Their aerodynamic configuration boasts superior theoretical efficiency, translating into potential benefits in terms of fuel consumption and flight performance. However, the absence of a tail presents unique challenges in terms of aircraft stability and control. Unlike tailed aircraft, flying wings must rely on alternative aerodynamic principles and active control systems to ensure safe flight. In this paper, we will focus on analyzing the stability of flying wings, exploring the concepts of static and dynamic stability and their inherent link to aerodynamic efficiency.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
