The impressive maneuverability demonstrated by birds has so far eluded comparably sized
uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Modern studies have shown that birds' ability to change …

A morphing aircraft can adapt its configuration to suit different types of tasks, which is also an
important requirement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The successful development of …

The excellent flight ability of birds is closely related not only to the morphing skeleton
structure that can cause large-scale geometrical changes of their wings but also to the …

In this study, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were classified based on the principle of
generation of lifting force. In addition, the structural characteristics, flight mechanisms, and …

Morphing aircraft has been a research hotspot in the aviation field in recent years, and the
morphing wing is the most important part of morphing aircraft. In this paper, a variable …

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 …

Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing
discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll …

The paper exposes some of the results obtained in a major research project related to the
design, development, and experimental testing of a morphing wing demonstrator, with the …

Abstract The PrandtlPlane (PrP) aircraft wing-box least-weight design is presented in this
work. This design problem is formulated as a constrained non-linear programming problem …

The implementation of morphing wing applications in aircraft design has sparked significant
interest as it enables the dimensional properties of the aircraft to be modified during flight. By …
