Lifting-Line Predictions for the Ideal Twist Effectiveness of Spanwise Continuous and Discrete Control Surfaces

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Modern materials and manufacturing technologies have allowed the construction of morphing wings that are able to continuously vary certain airfoil parameters such as twist, camber, or control surface deflection as a function of span. This work presents a

A Numerical Study on Smart Material Selection for Flapped and Twisted Morphing Wing Configurations

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2014
The developments of innovative adaptive structures on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as morphing wings, can potentially reduce system complexities by eliminating control surfaces and their auxiliary equipment. This technology has the potential of
