Comparison of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Morphing and Conventional Wings [PDF]
INCAS BulletinThe present research investigates the advantages of a morphing versus a hinged flap. The morphing wing model is equipped with a morphing trailing edge, while the conventional wing has a hinged flap system.

SMA actuators for morphing wings
Physics Procedia, 2010 AbstractAn experimental morphing laminar wing was developed to prove the feasibility of aircraft fuel consumption reduction through enhancement of the laminar flow regime over the wing extrados. The morphing wing prototype designed for subsonic cruise flight conditions (Mach 0.2…0.3; angle of attack −1…+2∘), combines three principal subsystems: (1 ...
