Autonomous material composite morphing wing

Journal of Composite Materials, 2023
Aeronautics research has continually sought to achieve the adaptability and morphing performance of avian wings, but in practice, wings of all scales continue to use the same hinged control-surface embodiment. Recent research into compliant and bio-inspired mechanisms for morphing wings and control surfaces has indicated promising results, though often

Design of a Morphing Wingtip [PDF]

Journal of Aircraft, 2014
An initial design of a morphing wingtip for a regional jet aircraft is developed and evaluated. The adaptive wingtip concept is based upon a chiral-type internal structure, enabling controlled cant...

Morphing Wing Based on Trigonal Bipyramidal Tensegrity Structure and Parallel Mechanism

Machines, 2022
The development of morphing wings is in the pursuit of lighter weight, higher stiffness and strength, and better flexible morphing ability. A structure that can be used as both the bearing structure and the morphing mechanism is the optimal choice for ...

Effects of an Unsteady Morphing Wing with Seamless Side-Edge Transition on Aerodynamic Performance

Energies, 2022
This paper presents an unsteady flow analysis of a 3D wing with a morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) and a seamless side-edge transition between the morphed and static parts of a wing by introducing an unsteady parametrization method.

A review of modelling and analysis of morphing wings [PDF]

Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2018
Morphing wings have a large potential to improve the overall aircraft performances, in a way like natural flyers do. By adapting or optimising dynamically the shape to various flight conditions, there are yet many unexplored opportunities beyond current proof-of-concept demonstrations.

Integrated Morphing Strategy and Trajectory Optimization of a Morphing Waverider and Its Online Implementation Based on the Neural Network

IEEE Access, 2021
In previous studies, a variable-sweep-wing morphing waverider was proposed and its aerodynamic performance and dynamic model were provided. This morphing waverider can change sweep angle according to different flight scenario in order to achieve an ...
