The scope of this work is to provide a critical review on the expectations about the morphing
wing technology against the current open issues and showstoppers. In synergy to other …

Morphing wing structures are widely considered among the most promising technologies for
the improvement of aerodynamic performances in large civil aircraft. The controlled …

This work presents an aerodynamic optimization method for a Droop Nose Leading Edge
(DNLE) and Morphing Trailing Edge (MTE) of a UAS-S45 root airfoil by using Bezier …

By introducing the progresses on Morphing currently achieved within the European Project
“AIRGREEN2”, in Clean-Sky 2 GRA platform, this work presents a review of the research …

The seamless trailing edge morphing flap is investigated using a high-fidelity steady-state
aerodynamic shape optimization to determine its optimum configuration for different flight …

This paper presents a new design for the core of a lightweight tail section of an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) with camber-morphing horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The core of …

The aerodynamic performance of a morphing airfoil is numerically and experimentally
investigated. The morphing airfoil is designed based on macro fiber composites, capable of …

This study aims to evaluates how an adaptive winglet during flight can improve aircraft
aerodynamic characteristics of the CRJ700. The aircraft geometry was slightly modified to …

In a previous paper, the authors dealt with the current showstoppers that inhibit commercial
applicability of morphing systems. In this work, the authors express a critical vision of the …

This paper is a follow-up to earlier work on applying multidisciplinary numerical optimization
to develop a morphing variable span of a tapered wing (MVSTW) to reduce its weight by …
