Design of a morphing airfoil

In this continued study, macro fibre composite actuators are used to change the upper and lower surfaces of the air-foil model with a geometry closely resembling NACA0014. These thin and light piezoelectric actuators are bonded to the inside skin of the upper and lower surfaces and become an integra...
