Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of Morphing Aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classify the shape morphing parameters that can be affected by planform alteration (span, sweep, and chord), out-of-plane transformation (twist, dihedral/gull, and span-wise bending), and airfoil adjustment (camber and thickness).
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape morphing of aircraft wing: Status and challenges
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Realization of Morphing Wings: A Multidisciplinary Challenge
TL;DR: An overview of the morphing-wing research can be found in this paper, where the focus is on morphing for traditionally fixed-wing aircraft and on the structural system in particular.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Motion Control of Fully Variable Morphing Wings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an underactuated parallel mechanism, which can be set up in a modular fashion, offering controlled motion in all six spatial degrees of freedom while providing multiple degrees of fault tolerance with only four actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and control of tensegrity morphing airfoils
TL;DR: This work paves a road towards integrating structure and control design, the principles developed here can also be used for 3D morphing airfoil design and control of various kinds of tensegrity structures.
