dc.description.abstractThe pressure for the airline industry to reduce its consumption of fuel is mounting. It has been conjectured that smart materials could be employed to control the aileron deflections via the tab, using with an electrically-actuated system instead of the bulky hydraulics currently used. In a collaboration between a leading aircraft manufacturer and four South African universities, potentially more efficient technologies for aircraft roll control, which would reduce the weight, are being investigated. This dissertation involves the aerodynamic analysis component of the collaboration project.en_ZA
