wings

4. BACKGROUND
Performance versatility
in an Eagle’s wings
Origin of Idea
Active wing
transformation

5. WING DESIGN

6. Morphing wing prototype Wing twist

7. NEW WING DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES
Active wings: Wing warping
Senses air flow
Reduces fuel burn
Modifies for optimum
efficiency
Uses articulating winglets
Reduces drag
Distributes aerodynamic
loading & improve lift at l0w
speeds

8. SMART WINGS
TechniquesUse of “intelligent” materials
Piezoelectric/Piezo-ceramic
Pneumatic
Electro-Active Polymer
Shape Memory Alloy
Piezoelectric Motor
Electromagnets
Electric Motor
Hydraulic
Shape Memory Polymer

9. Trailing Edge Deflection

10. COMPARISON BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL WING
AND MORPHING WING STRUCTURES

11. APPLICATIONS
F-14 AV8-B
Harrier

12. FUTURE SCOPE
Vertical take off & landing
Development of “ as-light-as
air” system
Improvement in uplift using
tilt wings & with rotors.
Short take off & landing

13. 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
