Design and applications of morphing aircraft and their structures
Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering, 2023 AbstractMorphing aircraft can adaptively regulate their aerodynamic layout to meet the demands of varying flight conditions, improve their aerodynamic efficiency, and reduce their energy consumption. The design and fabrication of high-performance, lightweight, and intelligent morphing structures have become a hot topic in advanced aircraft design. This

Attention-Based Multi-Objective Control for Morphing Aircraft. [PDF]
Biomimetics (Basel)This paper proposes a learning-based joint morphing and flight control framework for avian-inspired morphing aircraft. Firstly, a novel multi-objective multi-phase optimal control problem is formulated to synthesize the comprehensive flight missions, incorporating additional requirements such as fuel consumption, maneuverability, and agility of the ...

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 ...

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.
