In order to study the aerodynamic performance of a
\r\nsemi-flexible membrane wing, Fluid-Structure Interaction simulations
\r\nhave been performed. The fluid problem has been modeled using
\r\ntwo different approaches which are the vortex panel method and the
\r\nnumerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Nonlinear analysis
\r\nof the structural problem is performed using the Finite Element
\r\nMethod. Comparison between the two fluid solvers has been made.
\r\nAerodynamic performance of the wing is discussed regarding its
\r\nlift and drag coefficients and they are compared with those of the
\r\nequivalent rigid wing.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] Blondeau, J., Richeson, J., and Pines, J.D.: Desing, development and\r\ntesting of a morphing aspect ratio wing using an inflatable telescopic\r\nspar.
