Abstract: Precise landing on planets, moons, and other larger celestial bodies requires powered descent, hovering, and vertical landing. Similarly, recent and future concepts for re-usable launch vehicle (RLVs) also involve a vertical take-off and landing. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09544100211070157
Abstract: The main objective of this work is to characterise the prop-rotor of V/STOL (Vertical/short-take-off and landing) aircraft in various operating conditions, especially in transition flight. To this end, a BET (Blade element theory) based analytic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0199662
Abstract: The natural world is filled with substrates of varying properties that challenge locomotor abilities. Birds appear to transition smoothly from aerial to terrestrial environments during take-offs and landings using substrates that are incredibly variable. It… read more here.
