Design of compliant mechanism-based variable camber morphing wing with nonlinear large deformation
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2019 The morphing wing with large deformation can benefit its flight performance a lot in different conditions. In this study, a variable camber morphing wing with compliant leading and trailing edges is designed by large-displacement compliant mechanisms ...

Near Stall Unsteady Flow Responses to Morphing Flap Deflections
Fluids, 2021 The unsteady flow characteristics and responses of an NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with a bio-inspired morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) at near-stall angles of attack (AoA) undergoing downward deflections are investigated at a Reynolds number of 0.62 × 106 ...

Conceptual-level evaluation of a variable stiffness skin for a morphing wing leading edge [PDF]
, 2019 A morphing leading edge produces a continuous aerodynamic surface that has no gaps between the moving and fixed parts. The continuous seamless shape has the potential to reduce drag, compared to conventional devices, such as slats that produce a discrete

Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Performance of Airfoils Fitted with Morphing Trailing-edges [PDF]
2018 AIAA/CEAS Aeroacoustics Conference, 2018 Experimental and numerical studies of a simple NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with two different flap profiles were successfully carried out to characterize their aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance. The airfoil was tested with two flap configurations with different flap camber and a flap deflection angle of = 10.

Aerostructural Design Optimization of an Adaptive Morphing Trailing Edge Wing [PDF]
56th AIAA/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 2015 Adaptive morphing trailing edge technology offers the potential to decrease the fuel burn of transonic transport aircraft by allowing wings to dynamically adjust to changing flight conditions. Current aircraft use flap and aileron droop to adjust the wing during flight.
