Employing Wing Morphing to Cooperate Aileron Deflection Improves the Rolling Agility of Drones
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 In the wild, gliding birds dodge obstacles or predators by folding and twisting their wings swiftly to perform a rapid roll. Accordingly, the authors strive to explore the feasibility of improving the roll rate of drones through this bird‐inspired ...

Conceptual Research on a Mono-Biplane Aerodynamics-Driven Morphing Aircraft
Aerospace, 2022 The operation of aircrafts with high aspect ratio wings is usually vulnerable to low-standard airports and bad weather. A new concept for a mono-biplane aerodynamics-driven morphing aircraft is proposed.
