New metal could morph aircraft wings while flying
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying on rigid flaps and heavy hydraulics. The key is a family of “metals with ...
The Clean Aviation HERWINGT project is developing a novel, ultra-high performance wing for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, including thermoplastic composites (TPC) and morphing composite wing ...
MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.
LYON—Airbus UpNext, the airframer’s innovation arm, has begun to heavily modify a Cessna Citation VII business jet as the demonstrator for a high-aspect ratio, morphing wing aimed to cut fuel ...
Inspired by the Portulaca oleracea seedcoat, metamaterials fabricated by laser powder bed fusion realized tunable in-plane mechanical properties, large deformation recovery capability and functional ...
Membrane wings in micro air vehicles (MAVs) represent a promising avenue for enhancing aerodynamic performance in low Reynolds number regimes. These flexible lifting surfaces, inspired by natural ...
