Overview

Randomized trial compares energy performance of two-segment and three-segment wings, indicating advantages of multi-segment designs.

Key Points

  • The aim is to quantitatively compare energy budget characteristics of two-segment and three-segment wings in dynamic soaring.
  • Established an S-shaped flight dynamics model driven by aerodynamic data.
  • Constructed a two-dimensional aerodynamic response surface in airspeed and angle of attack.
  • Compared net mechanical energy change, energy consumption rate, and wind energy input versus aerodynamic dissipation under controlled conditions.
  • The three-segment wing achieved a 156% improvement in lift coefficient efficiency compared to the two-segment wing.
  • The net energy deficit was reduced by 25.83% for the three-segment wing over one cycle.
  • Wind energy input was comparable for both wings, with the three-segment wing benefiting from lower aerodynamic energy loss.
