Equivalent dynamic modeling of flexible morphing aircraft. [PDF]
Sci Prog, 2021 A morphing aircraft can maintain optimal flight performance by adaptively changing shape. However, large deformation and fast motion of aircraft modules lead to complicated dynamics during morphing process. This paper proposes a mechanistic equivalent model with parameters identified by optimization method.

Virtual Sensor for Failure Detection, Identification and Recovery in the Transition Phase of a Morphing Aircraft [PDF]
Sensors, 2010 The Helicopter Adaptive Aircraft (HADA) is a morphing aircraft which is able to take-off as a helicopter and, when in forward flight, unfold the wings that are hidden under the fuselage, and transfer the power from the main rotor to a propeller, thus ...

Aircraft Morphing program [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 1998 In the last decade smart technologies have become enablers that cut across traditional boundaries in materials science and engineering. Here we define smart to mean embedded actuation, sensing, and control logic in a tightly coupled feedback loop.

Status and Perspectives of Commercial Aircraft Morphing [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2021 In a previous paper, the authors dealt with the current showstoppers that inhibit commercial applicability of morphing systems. In this work, the authors express a critical vision of the current status of the proposed architectures and the needs that should be accomplished to make them viable for installation onboard of commercial aircraft.

Trajectory optimization of morphing aircraft based on multi-fidelity model
Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2022 Morphing aircraft can flexibly change its aerodynamic shape to adapt to the varying flight conditions during a flight. Compared with the traditional fixed shape aircraft, it has a very obvious advantage.
