AR20+: Workshop on High Aspect Ratio Wing Technologies

AR20+: Workshop on High Aspect Ratio Wing Technologies

Brahmal Vasudevan Institute for Sustainable Aviation at Imperial College London

This 2-day workshop brought together industry, research centres, and academia to discuss the state of the art and the technology challenges in the development of aircraft with very high aspect ratio wings. Topics of interest included conceptual design with HAR wings, nonlinear structural optimization and preliminary design, enabling technologies, modelling and simulation, wind-tunnel testing, and manufacturing methods and certification.

This was a free workshop, supported by the Brahmal Institute . Sign up to our mailist list to get updates about our research and future hybrid events.
