A multi-objective optimization (MOO) of two-element wing models with morphing flap by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, artificial neural networks (ANN), and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms (NSGA II), is performed in this paper. At first, the domain is solved numerically in various two-element wing models with morphing flap using CFD techniques and lift (L) and drag ...

This paper presents the study conducted to design and analyze a morphing trailing edge flap structure for a large aircraft wing. The rear part of the trailing edge flap was modified to be integrated with a set of internal actuation mechanisms distributed along the span of the flap. Additional changes to the conventional flap structure were implemented, such as an open sliding trailing edge and ...

The Smart Morphing & Sensing (SMS) project was a multi-disciplinary upstream that investigated the use of intelligent electro-active actuators to modify lifting surface an aircraft. In particular, attention focused on trailing-edge, high-lift morphing devices aimed obtain optimal shapes improve aerodynamic performance wing large passenger present work describes experimental assessment morphed f...

A novel Active Flap System (AFS) has been developed at DTU Wind Energy, as a result of a 3-year R&D project following almost 10 years of innovative research in this field. The full scale AFS comprises an active deformable trailing edge has been tested at the unique rotating test facility at the Risø Campus of DTU Wind Energy in Denmark. The design and instrumentation of the wing section and the...

The unsteady flow characteristics and responses of an NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with a bio-inspired morphing trailing edge flap (TEF) at near-stall angles attack (AoA) undergoing downward deflections are investigated Reynolds number 0.62 × 106 near stall. An geometric parametrization dynamic meshing scheme used to drive the motion. objective is determine susceptibility actuation viability rapid ...

Birds and bats frequently reconfigure their wing planform through a combination of flapping local sweep morphing, suggesting possible approach for improving the performance micro aerial vehicles. We explore effects combined morphing on aerodynamic by employing bio-inspired two-jointed with morphing. The consists inner outer sections, which flap around root joint (shoulder) midspan (wrist), resp...

Bio-inspiration has introduced new and innovative flow control methods in gust alleviation, maneuverability and stability improvement for morphing aircraft wings. The bioinspired wing model under consideration imitates the techniques used by birds to manipulate localized air flow through the installation of feather-like panels across the airfoil’s upper and lower surface, replacing the traditio...

This paper relates the camber control of a morphing flap actuated by macro-actuator composed five electromechanical actuators. Controlling could provide fuel consumption reaching specific aerodynamic profiles. Due to their reliability, actuators are used for macro-actuator. They located and integrated resist realistic forces. Their is determinant ensure mission. Based on simplified model using ...
