Numerical and experimental transition results evaluation for a morphing wing and aileron system

Abstract: A new wing-tip concept with morphing upper surface and interchangeable conventional and morphing ailerons was designed, manufactured, bench and wind-tunnel tested. The development of this wing-tip model was performed in the frame of an international CRIAQ project, and the purpose was to demonstrate the wing upper surface and aileron morphing capabilities in improving the wing-tip aerodynamic performances. During numerical optimisation with ‘in-house’ genetic algorithm software, and during wind-tunnel experimen… Show more

“…Various solutions have been implemented by the aviation industry, including smart material technology, laminar flow technology, air traffic management technologies, advanced propulsion techniques and sustainable fuels [2][3][4]. Morphing wing technology is one of the technologies showing high potential in decreasing aircraft fuel consumption [5][6][7][8]. Even though there is no settled definition for "morphing", this term is borrowed in Aviation Technology from avian flight to describe the ability to modify maneuvers at certain flight characteristics in order to obtain the best possible performance.…”

“…Contributing to the work on global warming, recent studies performed by the Laboratory of Applied Research in Active Controls, Avionics, and AeroServoElasticity (LARCASE) were targeted to improve aircraft aerodynamics characteristics using adaptive structures (i.e., "morphing wings" or "adaptive wings") [38]. The knowledge and skills of LARCASE in this discipline were notably highlighted in 2014 by winning the Consortium for Research and Innovation in Aerospace in Québec (CRIAQ) runner-up award for the CRIAQ MDO505 project, entitled "Morphing Architectures and related Technologies to improve the Wings Efficiency" [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

“…A three-blocks segmentation was considered sufficient in order to meet the desired target shapes. The morphed target shapes have been estimated by means of a 2D aerodynamic optimisation (21) with the objective to increase Lift-Drag ratio. Block B1 is rigidly connected to the rest of the wing structure through a torsion tube enabling aileron rotation for roll control.…”
