Comparative Aerodynamic Performance Analysis of Camber Morphing and Conventional Airfoils
Applied Sciences, 2021 This paper aims to numerically validate the aerodynamic performance and benefits of variable camber rate morphing wings, by comparing them to conventional ones with plain flaps, when deflection angles vary, assessing their D reduction or L/D improvement.
