AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MORPHING WING.
Graduate Research in Engineering and Technology, 2022 This thesis presents a modelling and design exploration study of a novel twisting wing whose motion is enabled by a tensegrity mechanism. First, the aerodynamic characteristics of the twisting wing, which does not require control surfaces to modulate its shape, are compared with those of a conventional wing having a control surface.
