01_16_Meter_Wing: 16-meter wing FEM model originally developed by Dr. M. Ritter (DLR). DOI: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2015-017602_X-HALE: University of Michigan's X-HALE FEM model developed by Dr. M. Ritter (DLR). DOI: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2016-1794
If you use our published nonlinear static aeroelastic and trim results for these models, please cite our paper as well as the papers by Dr. M. Ritter were the models were first introduced.
