Performance Improvement of Variable Speed Rotors by Gurney Flaps [PDF]
, 2017 Gurney flaps are used for improving the performance of variable speed rotors. An analytical model able to predict helicopter rotor power is first presented, and the flight data of the UH-60A helicopter is used for validation. The predictions of the rotor

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.This review explores how shape‐changing structures—origami, bistable, and laminate structures—enable multifunctionality in soft robotics and metamaterials. Starting from structural design, it examines core principles, real‐world applications, and ongoing challenges.

International Journal of Aerospace EngineeringThe flexing/morphing concept is a means of improving wings’ aerodynamic performance. Morphing technology such as the fishbone active camber (FishBAC) design has demonstrated drag reduction of over 30% at moderate angles of attack (AoAs) and 40% at higher

Trailing-edge dynamics and morphing of a deformable flat plate at high Reynolds number by time-resolved PIV [PDF]
, 2014 The present paper investigates the turbulent wake structure in the near-region past the trailing edge of a deformable inclined plate. The plate is actuated by shape memory alloys. Using these actuators a significant deformation (bending) can be achieved (

Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running during Avian Ontogeny [PDF]
, 2018 Flapping flight is the most power-demanding mode of locomotion, associated with a suite of anatomical specializations in extant adult birds. In contrast, many developing birds use their forelimbs to negotiate environments long before acquiring “flight ...
