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 morphing wing can change its shape during flight, allowing it to adapt optimally to different flight conditions," explains project leader Martin Radestock from the DLR Institute of Lightweight ...
Morphing wings represent a paradigm shift in aeronautical design, enabling dynamic alteration of wing geometry to optimise aerodynamic performance across diverse flight conditions. By integrating ...
