This paper presents an extensive review of the developments in the aeroelasticity of
morphing aircraft that occurred in the last decade (from 2009 to 2020). It focuses mainly on …

The ability of morphing aircraft to adapt their shape in flight hinges on the incredible
flexibility of their skins, which have multiple degrees of freedom. This paper presents a …

There has been an increasing effort to improve aircraft performance through using
composite tailored structures, not only to reduce weight, but to exploit beneficial aeroelastic …

Folding wingtips have begun to feature on recent aircraft designs, as a solution for
compliance with existing airport gate width regulations while enabling high-aspect-ratio …

Recent aircraft designs have considered higher-aspect-ratio wings to reduce induced drag
for improved fuel efficiency; however, to remain compliant with airport gate requirements …

An important prerequisite for the design, assessment and certification of aircraft and their
associated control systems is a quantitative specification of the environment in which the …

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a passive gust alleviation
device (PGAD) installed in a flying-wing aircraft of 62.3 m wing span at large swept back …

This paper presents the development of a novel polymorphing wing capable of Active Span
morphing And Passive Pitching (ASAPP) for small UAVs. The span of an ASAPP wing can …

A recent consideration in aircraft design is the use of folding wing tips, with the aim of
enabling higher aspect ratio wings with less induced drag but also meeting airport gate …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the gust load alleviation effects based on
circulation control (CC) via blowing over airfoil trailing-edge Coanda surface. The …
