Effects of Trailing Edge Deflections Driven by Shape Memory Alloy Actuators on the Transonic Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Super Critical Airfoil

A smart structure to actuate a morphing trailing edge based on the super critical airfoil NASA sc-0714(2) was designed and verified in a transonic wind tunnel. The pressure distribution over the wing was measured to evaluate the structure ability and effects of trailing edge deflections on the aerod...
