Aerodynamic optimisation of a camber morphing aerofoil
Aerospace Science and Technology, 2015 AbstractAn aircraft that has been carefully optimised for a single flight condition will tend to perform poorly at other flight conditions. For aircraft such as long-haul airliners, this is not necessarily a problem, since the cruise condition so heavily dominates a typical mission.

Design of compliant mechanism-based variable camber morphing wing with nonlinear large deformation
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2019 The morphing wing with large deformation can benefit its flight performance a lot in different conditions. In this study, a variable camber morphing wing with compliant leading and trailing edges is designed by large-displacement compliant mechanisms ...

Efficiency of Lift Production in Flapping and Gliding Flight of Swifts [PDF]
, 2014 Many flying animals use both flapping and gliding flight as part of their routine behaviour. These two kinematic patterns impose conflicting requirements on wing design for aerodynamic efficiency and, in the absence of extreme morphing, wings cannot be ...

Study on the Actuation Aspects for a Morphing Aileron Using an Energy–Based Design Approach
Actuators, 2022 Evaluating the impact of morphing devices in terms of actuation energy is a promising approach to quantify, from the earliest stages of wing design, the convenience of active camber morphing compared to the use of conventional control surfaces.
