Morphing Wing Actuation Method

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. The thesis "Aerodynamic Performance Comparison of a Conventional UAV Wing and a FishBAC Morphing Wing" proposes the use of internal mechanisms to promote morphing in a wing to increase aerodynamic performance as opposed to the smart technologies.
