AEROELASTICITY’S ROL E IN INNOVATIVE UAV DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION – THE WAY THINGS OUGHT TO BE Terrence A. Weisshaar Professor, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana USA ABSTRACT PREFACE Aeroelasticity is a design activit y concerned with the In 1972 Dr. I.E. Ed Garrick presented the Fifth consequences of interactions between aerodynamic Theodore von Karman Memorial Lecture entitled th forces and structural deformations. This presentation “Perspectives in Aeroelasticity” to the 14 Israel examines the influence that aeroelasticity exerts Annual Conference on Aviation and Astronautics held during the development of efficient, innovative air in Tel Aviv and Haifa. He discussed how vehicle design, particularly UAV design. UAV aeroelasticians had advanced the ability to analyze designs often have unusual shapes with features whose complex configurations, expanded the accuracy and integration provides performance trade-offs that do not use of computerized numerical methods and merged occur in conventional aircraft. Designs affected diverse engineering fields. He also saw the emerging include oblique wing vehicles, forw
