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 …

This paper presents state‐of‐the‐art technologies of camber morphing mechanisms from the
perspectives of design and implementation. Wing morphing technologies are aimed at …

This paper presents the development of a novel compliant polymorphing wing capable of
chord and camber morphing for small UAVs. The morphing wing can achieve up to 10 …

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 …

A whole adaptive variable camber wing (AVCW) equipped with an innovative double rib
sheet (DRS) structure is experimentally and numerically studied in this work. The DRS …

This paper introduces a new modular Fish Bone Active Camber morphing wing with novel
3D printed skin panels. These skin panels are printed using two different Thermoplastic …

This study is aimed at assessing the feasibility of employing an innovative, smart-material-
based control effector for an inflatable wing. A shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is …

Morphing skins as structural component in shape adaptive wings are still in their early
development phase, as they need to combine contradicting requirements, such as extreme …

Adaptive, morphing flaps are taking ever-increasing attention in civil aviation thanks to the
expected benefits this technology can bring at the aircraft level in terms of high-lift …

Biological structures have excellent mechanical performances including lightweight, high
stiffness, etc. However, these are difficult to apply directly to some given complex structures …
