Abstract:The present study investigates the problem of locating and resizing canard control surfaces in order to achieve a desired trim flight control force. The problem of a generic flexible aerospace vehicle having canard as the main flight control surface is formulated and a simplified analytical model is developed which demonstrates the feasibility of determining the geometric configuration and location of the canard that recovers the desired control force by relocating and resizing the existing canard. Next, the a… Show more
