There exists a potential opportunity to allow a wing tip to move in flight to alleviate the loads and achieve a lower wing weight \u2013 or enable the wing span to be maximised. This technology has become known as the \u201cSemi Aeroelastic Hinge\u201d. This paper will present the AlbatrossONE Semi Aeroelastic Hinge small scale demonstrator aircraft and the results from the wind tunnel tests and the first flight tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/333559132_Small_scale_flying_demonstration_of_semi_aeroelastic_hinged_wing_tips?enrichId=rgreq-12724b19ef75074edc94dfafa4bbd63a-XXX&amp;enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzMzMzU1OTEzMjtBUzo4MDEyMTQ2MTQ3MzI4MDBAMTU2ODAzNTg1ODEyMw%3D%3D&amp;el=1_x_2\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Thomas Wilson, James Kirk, John Hobday, Andrea Castrichini<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: IFASD-2019-076<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2446,2433],"tags":[682,2913,663,975,2912,2363,2375,2373,2374,2911],"class_list":["post-18920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flight-testing","category-1-ifasd-2019","tag-aeroelastic","tag-albatrossone","tag-flight-testing","tag-flutter","tag-flying-demonstrator","tag-gusts","tag-hinged-folding-wing-tips","tag-load-alleviation","tag-manoeuvres","tag-semi-aeroelastic-hinge","category-2446","category-2433","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18922,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18920\/revisions\/18922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
