“Communication blackout” could lead to severe risks to reentry vehicles. Previous studies have shown that EHF (extremely high frequency) communication is a potential solution to the “communications blackout” and was mostly used for blunt-coned vehicles. EHF communication with sharp-coned vehicles was rarely concerned before. In the present study, t...

In the present paper, semi-analytical design sensitivity analysis of a morphing forward wing section modeled as a flexible multibody system is developed. The flexible multibody dynamics model consists of a flexible external wing skin and an actuation mechanism with rigid bodies. The floating frame of reference formulation is used for the formulatio...
