As climate change is exacerbated and existing resources are depleted, the need for
sustainable industries becomes ever so important. Aviation is not an exception. Despite the …

Morphing wings have a large potential to improve the overall aircraft performances, in a way
like natural flyers do. By adapting or optimising dynamically the shape to various flight …

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 …

This paper proposes a novel framework for classification of morphing technology based on
its functionality, operation, and the structural layout. In addition, it highlights the limitations of …

Morphing aircraft can adaptively regulate their aerodynamic layout to meet the demands of
varying flight conditions, improve their aerodynamic efficiency, and reduce their energy …

The use of elastomer-based skins in morphing wings has become increasingly popular due
to their remarkable stretchability and mechanical properties. However, the possibility of the …

A morphing aircraft continuously adjusts its wing geometry to achieve optimal flight
characteristics for a wide range of flight conditions. Research on morphing aircraft has …

There is an emerging trend in the morphing aircraft research where two or more morphing
degrees of freedom are used on a wing which leads to the concept of polymorphing. The …

This article describes the development of variable camber morphing wing, which is mainly
composed of corrugated structures. The morphing wing with both leading edge and trailing …
