Delaying stall of morphing wing by periodic trailing-edge deflection
Chinese Journal of Aeronautics, 2020 Abstract Morphing wings can improve aircraft performance during different flight phases. Recently research has focused on steady aerodynamic characteristics of the morphing wing with a flexible trailing-edge, and the unsteady aerodynamic and stall characteristics in the deflection process of the morphing wing are worthy further investigation.

Free-Form Deformation Parameterization on the Aerodynamic Optimization of Morphing Trailing Edge
Applied Mechanics, 2023 Every aerodynamic optimization is proceeded by a parameterization of the studied aerial object, and due to its influence on the final optimization process, careful attention should be made in choosing the appropriate parameterization method.

On the Aeroelasticity of a Cantilever Wing Equipped with the Spanwise Morphing Trailing Edge Concept
Aerospace, 2023 This paper studies the aeroelastic behavior of a rectangular, cantilever wing equipped with the spanwise morphing trailing edge (SMTE) concept. The SMTE consists of multiple trailing edge flaps that allow controlling the spanwise camber distribution of a

Experimental investigation of aerodynamic performance of airfoils fitted with morphing trailing edges [PDF]
54th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2016 The aerodynamic performance and wake development of a NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with morphing trailing edges were studied using experimental and computational techniques. The NACA 0012 airfoil was tested with morphing trailing edges having various camber profiles with the same trailing edge tip deflection.
