Shape morphing of aircraft wing: Status and challenges

A.Y.N. Sofla, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: The use of SMA-actuated structures in shape morphing wing designs reduces the weight penalty due to the actuation systems, because such SMAactuated structure carries aerodynamic loads as mentioned in this paper.

A review on shape memory alloys with applications to morphing aircraft

Silvestro Barbarino, +4 more
- 10 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: Shape memory alloys (SMAs) as discussed by the authors are a unique class of metallic materials with the ability to recover their original shape at certain characteristic temperatures (shape memory effect), even under high applied loads and large inelastic deformations, or to undergo large strains without plastic deformation or failure (super-elasticity).
