Integrated multi-functional morphing aircraft technologies
, 2018 In the past years, the development of morphing wing technologies has received a great deal of interest from the scientific community. These technologies potentially enable an increase in aircraft efficiency by changing the wing shape, thus allowing the aircraft to fly near its optimal performance point at different flight conditions.

Morphing Wing Weight Predictors and Their Application in a Template-Based Morphing Aircraft Sizing Environment II [PDF]
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

Morphing surfaces for the control of boundary layer transition [PDF]
, 2016 A structure configured to modify its surface morphology between a smooth state and a rough state in response to an applied stress. In demonstrated examples, a soft (PDMS) substrate is produced, and is pre-strained. A relatively stiff overlayer of a metal,

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 ...

Non-linear controls influence functions in an aircraft dynamics simulator [PDF]
In the development and testing of novel structural and controls concepts, such as morphing aircraft wings, appropriate models are needed for proper system characterization. In most instances, available system models do not provide the required additional
