Mechanism for Warp-Controlled Twist of a Morphing Wing
TL;DR: In this article, a new concept for actively controlling wing twist is described, which relied on introducing warping deformation of the wing skin, which was split at the trailing edge to create an open-section airfoil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphing wing flight control via postbuckled precompressed piezoelectric actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, a postbuckled precompressed bending actuator was mounted between the end of a tapered D-spar at the 40% chord and a trailing-edge stiffener at the 98% chord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-buckled precompressed elements: a new class of control actuators for morphing wing UAVs
TL;DR: In this paper, post-buckled precompressed (PBP) actuators are employed in a deformable wing structure to manipulate its camber distribution and thereby induce roll control on a subscale UAV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary Sizing Method for Hybrid-Electric Distributed-Propulsion Aircraft
TL;DR: The use of hybrid-electric propulsion entails several potential benefits such as the distribution of power along the airframe, which enables synergistic configurations with improved aerodynam...

Mechanics of pressure-adaptive honeycomb and its application to wing morphing*
Roelof Vos,Ron Barrett +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, pressure-adaptive honeycomb (PAH) was used for the first time in a commercial aircraft winglet or flight control surface with a 35% PAH trailing edge and the results of subsequent wind tunnel test showed an increase in lift coefficient of 0.3 at 23 m s − 1 through an angle of attack from − 6° to + 20°.
