This paper studies the aeroelastic behavior of a rectangular, cantilever wing equipped with the spanwise morphing trailing edge (SMTE) concept. The SMTE consists of multiple trailing edge flaps that allow controlling the spanwise camber distribution of a...

Since the taper ratio of most wings is not equal to 1, the beam-disk trailing edge deflection mechanism originally designed for the rectangular wing is not fully applicable to the non-equal chord wing. Moreover, it is not only expected that the wing shap...

This paper presents initial results on the aeroacoustic and aerodynamic effects of morphing the trailing-edge flap of the 30P30N aerofoil, over five flap deflections (5?25°), at an 8° angle of attack and a Reynolds number of Re=9.2×105" role="pr...

Conventional aircraft use discrete flight control surfaces to maneuver during flight. The gaps and discontinuities of these control surfaces generate drag, which degrades aerodynamic and power efficiencies. Morphing technology aims to replace conventiona...

In order to decrease the emitted airframe noise by a two-dimensional high-lift configuration during take-off and landing performance, a morphing airfoil has been designed through a shape design optimisation procedure starting from a baseline airfoil (NLR...
