Concept for morphing airfoil with zero torsional stiffness

S Daynes, X Lachenal, PM Weaver - Thin-Walled Structures, 2015 - Elsevier
A morphing wing structure is presented which is designed to have zero torsional stiffness to
minimise actuation requirements. The concept consists of carbon fibre reinforced plastic …

Design of a morphing Bi-Stable composite air intake

L Spiteri, S Daynes, S Watkins - 2015 - sae.org
A morphing ram-air intake, capable of deploying from a flat, closed surface to an open state
is investigated. Via geometric and material optimisation, an origami-inspired folding …
