Experimental Aerodynamic Comparison of Active Camber Morphing and Trailing-Edge Flaps [PDF]
AIAA Journal, 2021 Unlike hinged flaps (for example, ailerons, elevators, and rudders), camber morphing devices vary camber distribution in a smooth and continuous way, resulting in aerodynamic efficiency improvements due to the absence of sharp changes in airfoil camber.

Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics of a bionic morphing flap
Energy Reports, 2023 Birds adapt to the changing flight conditions by performing intricate feather-movements to manipulate the airflow. The avian wings often undergo seamless transformations at the trailing-edge to achieve camber-reflexes for extended flight envelope.
