Reconfigurable unmanned aerial vehicles [PDF]
, 2009 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been developing dramatically due to wars and miniaturisation of technology, which has made the UAV industry a very lucrative business. Research organisations have been funded by various research committees or military

Morphing of ‘flying’ shapes for autonomous underwater and aerial vehicles [PDF]
, 2009 Autonomous vehicles are energy poor and should be designed to minimise the power required to propel them throughout their mission. The University of Southampton’s School of Engineering Sciences is actively involved in the development of improved designs ...

Low energy actuation technique of bistable composites for aircraft morphing [PDF]
, 2018 Morphing structures for lightweight and energy-efficient aircraft mobile surfaces have been investigated for several years. This paper presents a novel lightweight, passive and low-energy morphing surface concept based on the “lever effect” of a bistable

A Hinge Moment Alleviation Control Strategy for Morphing Tail Aircraft Based on a Data-Driven Method [PDF]
Morphing airplane technology is currently a focal point of research. For morphing airplanes, besides effective morphing strategies and control schemes, the hinge moment at the root of the vertical tail during morphing is a critical factor influencing ...

Aerodynamic Optimization of Morphing Airfoil by PCA and Optimization-Guided Data Augmentation
AerospaceAn aircraft that has been carefully optimized 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 ...

Morphing Wing Weight Predictors and Their Application in a Template-Based Morphing Aircraft Sizing Environment II [PDF]
, 2008 This report presents an approach for sizing of a morphing aircraft based upon a multi-level design optimization approach. For this effort, a morphing wing is one whose planform can make significant shape changes in flight - increasing wing area by 50% or
