DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF WINGS EMBEDDED WITH MORPHING TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Morphing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVS) are expected to have a multirole capacity,
allowing them to adapt to changing mission
environments. A UAV model is required to efficiently
and quickly calculate the attributes of numerous wing
variants. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are
increasingly being used in unconventional and
asymmetric military missions, as well as in a variety
of civic situations. With dynamic onboard
reconfiguration capabilities, UAVs are designed to
accommodate conflicting mission objectives. The
ability to accomplish a wide range of missions is
severely limited by the traditional fixed-wing aircraft
configuration. Wing morphing has been offered as a
method to modify a flying vehicle's aerodynamic
features while it is in flight. A morphing aircraft is a
type of aircraft that may morph/ change geometry
while in flight to boost efficiency. Traditional aircraft
wings are a sacrifice that enables the plane to fly in a
wide range of conditions while offering sub-optimal
performance in each of those. Morphing shows
potential as little more than a future enabler
technology for next-generation aircraft. Wing
morphing technologies seek to make the aircraft
increasingly energy and aerodynamically efficient by
actively changing the wing configuration during
flight. Morphing offers hope as a future facilitator
innovation for next-generation aircraft. Wing
morphing technologies strive to make airplanes more
power and aerodynamically efficient by actively
changing the wing form during flight. These wing and
tail form variants may be used to facilitate rapid
directional changes, slow flight without crashing, and
minimize drag during high-velocity flight. This study's
overarching goal is to investigate the effects of readily
adjustable wing sweep and wingspan on aerodynamic
and flight stability characteristics.
