Periodic Reporting for period 2 - WTM-RECYCLE (Large scale wind tunnel turboprop aircraft model integrating morphing devices for aerodynamic experimental assessment)

Existing turboprop configurations are very efficient at cruise speeds up to about Mach 0.65 providing a fuel savings of 10 to 20 percent with respect to equivalent technology turbofan aircrafts. On the other hand, above this speed, the increased drag due to compressibility...
