The ability of morphing aircraft to adapt their shape in flight hinges on the incredible
flexibility of their skins, which have multiple degrees of freedom. This paper presents a …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have excelled with their ability to perform the intended
task on or without personnel. In recent years, UAVs have been designed for civilian …

This work presents an aerodynamic optimization method for a Droop Nose Leading Edge
(DNLE) and Morphing Trailing Edge (MTE) of a UAS-S45 root airfoil by using Bezier …

Active blade twist is an option to increase helicopter performance, for instance moving its
condition from hovering to cruise. Shape memory alloys give the possibility of realizing …

This paper aims to numerically validate the aerodynamic performance and benefits of
variable camber rate morphing wings, by comparing them to conventional ones with plain …

Flight range, endurance, maneuverability, and agility are the key elements that determine an
aircraft's performance. Both conventional and morphing wing aircraft have been well studied …

The seamless trailing edge morphing flap is investigated using a high-fidelity steady-state
aerodynamic shape optimization to determine its optimum configuration for different flight …

This paper presents state‐of‐the‐art technologies of camber morphing mechanisms from the
