Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Ahead of Print.
The study investigates the aerodynamic characteristics of novel in-plane joined diamond-back wing configurations designed for aerial vehicles across the subsonic-to-supersonic flight speeds (0.3 <M< 2.0). Unlike conventional joined-wing designs ...
