Kinematic Chain of a Morphing Winglet: Specifications, Conceptual and Advanced Design

The present work focuses on the actuation system of a morphing winglet conceived to adaptively alter the load distribution on the wing, to reduce its stress level and enhance the climb performance. The winglet is equipped with two flaps, independently controlled by dedicated kinematic chains, in tur...
