INTRODUCTION

What is “MORPHING”?
Structural Adaptability
Adaptive
wings
Multirole
vehicle
Morphing
wings
Multidisciplinary
optimization
Aerodynamic
adaptability
BACKGROUND
Origin of Idea
Performance versatility
in an Eagle’s wings
Active wing
transformation
STAGES OF DEVELOPMENTS
Parker Variable

WING DESIGN
Morphing wing prototype
Wing twist
NEW WING DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES
Active wings:
Wing warping
Senses air flow
Uses articulating winglets
Reduces fuel burn
Reduces drag
Modifies for optimum
efficiency
Distributes aerodynamic
loading & improve lift at l0w
speeds
SMART WINGS
Use of “intelligent” materials
Techniques
Piezoelectric/Piezo-ceramic
Pneumatic
Electro-Active Polymer
Shape Memory Alloy
Piezoelectric Motor
Electromagnets
Electric Motor
Hydraulic
Shape Memory Polymer
NASTIC STRUCTURE
Nastic Tensile test at
100 psig
Nastic Tensile test at

CURRENT RESEARCH
Advancements in smart
materials
NASA’s 6 year Aircraft
Morphing Program
Researches in various
universities of U.S.
Researches in Lockheed
Martins & Boeing
COMPARISON BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL WING
AND MORPHING WING STRUCTURES
Before morphing
After morphing
APPLICATIONS

Harrier
CONCLUSION

Revolutionary improvements in efficiency, safety of
flight vehicles

Significant improvement in fatigue-life

Reduction in weight of load –carrying components

Improvement in high lift system
FUTURE SCOPE
Vertical take off & landing
Short take off & landing
Improvement in uplift using
tilt wings & with rotors.
Development of “ as-light-as
air” system
