A Generic Morphing Wing Analysis and Design Framework

, 2011
A generic framework for morphing wing aeroelastic analysis and design is presented. The wing is discretised into an arbitrary number of wing segments. Two types of actuation mechanisms are identified: inter-rib mechanisms operating across a wing segment

Learning from bat: Aerodynamics of actively morphing wing

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
Different from birds and insects, bats have complex wing-deformation capacity to generate high aerodynamic forces. In flight, the actively morphing of bat wing includes the twisting from wing root to wing tip, the cambering along the chordwise direction,

Aerodynamic Shape Design and Validation of an Advanced High-Lift Device for a Regional Aircraft with Morphing Droop Nose

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2019
In the present work, the aerodynamic shape design of an advanced high-lift system for a natural laminar flow (NLF) wing, based on the combination of a morphing droop nose and a single slot trailing edge flap, is presented.

Morphing of ‘flying’ shapes for autonomous underwater and aerial vehicles

, 2009
Autonomous vehicles are energy poor and should be designed to minimise the power required to propel them throughout their mission. The University of Southampton’s School of Engineering Sciences is actively involved in the development of improved designs ...

Design & modelling of a composite rudderless aeroelastic fin structure [PDF]

, 2010
This thesis presents the study of a gapless and rudderless aeroelastic fin (GRAF) to enhance the directional stability and controllability of an aircraft. The GRAF concept was proposed and developed in the wake of previous research, targeted to improve

Morphing Wing Aircraft Using Piezoelectric Actuators

, 2015
Using macro-fiber composites as aircraft control surfaces, rather than the hinged flaps of current aircraft, decreases energy and fuel consumption, and can increase wing versatility along with the aircraft's range and endurance.
