Lifting-Line Predictions for the Ideal Twist Effectiveness of Spanwise Continuous and Discrete Control Surfaces

Applied Sciences
Modern materials and manufacturing technologies have allowed the construction of morphing wings that are able to continuously vary certain airfoil parameters such as twist, camber, or control surface deflection as a function of span. This work presents a

Design and Analysis of a Novel Mechanism for the Morphing of Trailing Edge of an Aircraft Wing

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
In this paper, design of a novel deployable scissor-structural mechanism (SSM) for active camber and chord morphing airfoil has been presented. The mechanism is created via combination of one four-bar linkage and various scissor-like elements (SLEs). The

Structural assessment and experimental validation of a hybrid composite–polymer trailing-edge morphing wing for low-Reynolds-number UAVs

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
Trailing-edge morphing wings have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing aerodynamic efficiency in low-Reynolds-number unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); however, their structural performance under large deformation and actuation-driven loading ...
