“…Indeed, several researches show an increase in either efficiency or thrust when the airfoils or wings exhibit active or passive flexibility. Moreover, with the advent of smart materials such as shape memory alloys (Jardine et al, 1996), one can actively control the deformation of a wing. This enables an aircraft to deform its wings according to the flight requirements to improve the aircraft's performance.…”

“…Perhaps two of the most well-known fixed-wing projects of the past are the Smart Wing program and the Smart Aircraft and Marine Propulsion System demonstration (SAMP-SON) [18,19]. The Smart Wing program was intended to develop and demonstrate the use of active materials, including SMAs, to optimize the performance of lifting bodies [20][21][22][23]. The project was split into two phases with the first being the most SMA-intensive.…”

With the increased emphasis on both reliability and multi-functionality in the aerospace industry, active materials are fast becoming an enabling technology capturing the attention of an increasing number of engineers and scientists worldwide. This article reviews the class of active materials known as shape memory alloys (SMAs), especially as used in aerospace applications. To begin, a general overview of SMAs is provided. Their useful properties and engineering effects are described and the methods in which these may be utilized are discussed. A review of past and present aerospace applications is presented. The discussion addresses applications for both atmospheric earth flight as well as space flight. To complete the discussion, SMA design challenges and methodologies are addressed and the future of the field is examined.

“…Over the last two decades shape memory alloys 3 (Wayman, 1983) have attracted great interest in various fields of applications ranging from aerospace (Jardine et al, 1996;Liang et al, 1996) and naval (Garner et al, 2000) to surgical instruments (Ilyin et al, 1995) and medical implants and fixtures (Brailovski and Trochu, 1996;Gyunter et al, 1995). The use of SMAs has promoted extensive research on developing SMA constitutive models.…”
