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.

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.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 45, 5 June 2026.Developing recyclable materials for magnetic robotics that combine rapid response and self‐healing properties is challenging. Hence, this study focuses on the integration of magnetothermal nanoparticles into a dynamic sorbitol‐based vitrimer, a recyclable composite capable of remote actuation and self‐healing by magnetic heating.
