Optimal Elastic Wing for Flapping-Wing Robots Through Passive Morphing
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2023 Flapping wing robots show promise as platforms for safe and efficient flight in near-human operations, thanks to their ability to agile maneuver or perch at a low Reynolds number. The growing trend in the automatization of these robots has to go hand in hand with an increase in the payload capacity.

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.

Twist Morphing: A Simulation Approach to Compare Twist Morphed Wing and Flap Configuration
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2021 Abstract: The aim of the work is to explore and justify an innovative concept in the niche of aerospace industry called as Wing Morphing. To narrow down the study, specifically twist morphing is taken into consideration. Wings with twist and their flap counterparts are compared in similar conditions and their aerodynamic efficiency is observed.
