Conceptual Research on a Mono-Biplane Aerodynamics-Driven Morphing Aircraft

open access: yesAerospace, 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.

Basal complex: a smart wing component for automatic shape morphing

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Insect wings are adaptive structures that automatically respond to flight forces, surpassing even cutting-edge engineering shape-morphing systems. A widely accepted but not yet explicitly tested hypothesis is that a 3D component in the wing’s proximal ...
