Lightweight Material

The main objective of this paper is to categorize the available literature (analytical/experimental). The discussion remains descriptive, and the reader is recommended to consult the cited references for specifics on parameters and mathematical models. Three phases were adopted to conduct this literature review: (a) conducting the review, (b) conducting the analysis, and (c) writing up the review.

Morphing wings were once in the common in early aviation however due to a lack of strong and lightweight materials they were abandoned in favour of conventional wings. Due to the recent advances in smart technologies, morphing wings has become of interest in aviation. This paper proposes the use of internal mechanisms to promote morphing in a wing to increase aerodynamic performance as opposed to the smart technologies. To determine the aerodynamic superiority of the morphing wing it was compared to a conventional wing of the same geometry.

Inappropriate use of gravity and lateral load-bearing system and the use of inappropriate materials may increase in weight of the structure. Thus, we see an increase in gravity and lateral forces and consequently the beam and column dimensions of elements increase.
