Comparison of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Morphing and Conventional Wings [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin
The 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.
