A study of morphing aircraft on morphing rules along trajectory
Chinese Journal of Aeronautics, 2021 Abstract Morphing aircraft can meet requirements of multi-mission during the whole flight due to changing the aerodynamic shape, so it is necessary to study its morphing rules along the trajectory. However, trajectory planning considering morphing variables requires a huge number of expensive CFD computations due to the morphing in view of ...
