Adaptive morphing trailing-edge wings have the potential to reduce the fuel burn of transport
aircraft. However, to take full advantage of this technology and to quantify its benefits, design …

Trailing-edge flap is traditionally used to improve the takeoff and landing aerodynamic
performance of aircraft. In order to improve flight efficiency during takeoff, cruise and landing …

Minimum induced drag for fixed gross weight and wingspan is obtained from the elliptic lift
distribution. However, minimum induced drag for steady level flight is not obtained by …

The incessant quest for more efficient aircraft has driven research into the development of
aircraft with morphing wings. This concept aims to increase the flight efficiency of the aircraft …

Because the wing-structure weight required to support the critical wing section bending
moments is a function of wingspan, net weight, weight distribution, and lift distribution, there …

Mission adaptive variable camber wing in both chord-wise and span-wise directions that can
improve the aerodynamic performance during takeoff, landing and cruising flight, will be the …

Morphing technology is one of the most effective methods to improve the flight efficiency of
aircraft. Traditional control surfaces based morphing method is mature and widely used on …

A parabolic trailing-edge flap is defined as a parabolic deflection of the airfoil geometry aft of
a hinge point. Whereas a traditional flap deflection causes a discontinuous camber-line …

The paper presents a novel time-varying aeroelastic modeling approach for the morphing
wing with the process of camber changing. The time-varying modeling methodology …
