Development and Testing of a Span-Extending Morphing Wing

Recent developments in morphing aircraft research have motivated investigation into conformal morphing systems, that is, shape change without discrete moving parts or abrupt changes in the airfoil profile. In this study, implementation of a continuous span morphing wing is described. The system cons...
