The generic construction of each wing consisted of a rectangular flat plate with foam aerofoil surfaces. Tow-steered composite layers of the wings were manufactured using two different techniques: Continuous Tow-Shearing and Discrete Stiffness Tailoring. Finite Element models of the wings were optimised in order to determine the tow-steered composite layer orientations, as well as unidirectional composite orientations, that reduced the maximum strains due to equivalent \u201cmanoeuvre\u201d and \u201cgust\u201d loads (at a tunnel speed of 20 m\/s). A series of static and dynamic, wind-on and wind-off tests were performed to validate the numerical modelling capability and to illustrate the capabilities of tow-steering technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IFASD-2017-048.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>O.
