- Abstract
An aerial deployment technique is required for the Mars airplane to get a large wing area and compactness. A multibody dynamics simulation program was developed to assess the safety of the dynamic behaviour during aerial deployment. An effect of an initial deployment angle was revealed through the simulation. A pitching moment was generated due to the drag and pitching moment acting on the right and left wings.
