This research demonstrates the effectiveness of SMA actuation in enhancing aerodynamic performance in morphing wings, indicating promising applications in aerospace.
The morphing wing can adaptively adjust its aerodynamic shape according to the change of flight missions to obtain the best aerodynamic performance. In this paper, the SMA spring is used as the actuator to design a lightweight, low-energy consumption continuous variable camber wing with quick response. The structural design was verified by the finite element simulation and experimental demonstration. The results show that the deflection of the morphing trailing edge can reach 14.3°, which meets the expected demand and shows the feasibility of the proposed design.
