Abstract:Telescopic wing UAVs not only exhibit excellent flight performance across a wide speed range but can also utilize asymmetric wing extensions for flight control. This study focuses on a UAV with asymmetrically extendable wings. The extension process is discretized into distinct states, and a dynamic finite element model considering both structural and aerodynamic asymmetries is established to investigate the changes in flutter characteristics under asymmetric extension. The results show that both the flutter speed and flutter frequency in the asymmetric extension states are higher than those in the baseline symmetric state. As the asymmetry degree increases, the form of flutter transitions from body freedom flutter to bending-torsion coupling flutter, resulting in significant increases in both flutter speed and flutter frequency.
