| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study proposed morphing wing structures using ultra-anisotropic composites for the feasible morphing technology enabling us to improve flight efficiency and aerodinamic performance of the future aircraft. Based on the real aircraft wing, airfoil structures with morphing trailing edge was structurally analyzed, and morphing wing with wire-driven actuation mechanism was designed. Morphng wing prototype was manufactured using the ultra-anisotropic composites, and wind tunnel test was performed to demonstrate the driving of morphing under aerodynamic forces. Successful driving of morphing wing under 30m/s airstream was presented in this study. The present study successfully indicated a useful insight for the feasibility of morphing wing and establishment of design methodology of morphing wing.
