title = "Modular aeroplane system: A concept and initial investigation",
abstract = "This paper presents results of an initial investigation on the Modular Aeroplane System, consisting of the flying wing carrier and cranked delta wing carried aeroplane. The system takes off in {"}conventional{"} configuration with the wing of the carried aeroplane working as a horizontal stabilizer of the system. At the certain altitude carried aeroplane is detached and both vehicles continue their missions separately. Each of them maintain flying wing configuration after split. The paper includes results of aerodynamic investigation related to the whole system, the carrier and the highly maneuverable airplane as an isolate components. Moreover analysis of stability for all vehicles configurations are presented. Furthermore paper contains initial performance calculations and discussion on possible applications of Modular Aeroplane System.",
