SUMMARY:Investigation of a Morphing Wing Capable of Airfoil and Span Adjust
 ment using a Retractable Folding Mechanism – New Engineering Approach
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Amit Geva\n Faculty:Department of Aerospace Engineerin
 g\n Institute:Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\n Location:Class
 room 165\, ground floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom: \n Abstract: \n
  Details: \n A morphing or adapting aircraft is a term used to define an a
 irplane that enables mid-flight geometry change\, in order to allow a shif
 t in performance and aerodynamic traits which in turn would allow for the 
 optimization of multiple flight scenarios. Many viable solutions are exami
 ned and tested with various degrees of success. Span morphing is commonly 
 used in order to improve duration while airfoil morphing (mostly refers to
  the camber) is commonly used to allow the elimination of ailerons and fla
 p aerodynamic disturbances and thus lower parasitic drag. Most span morphi
 ng solutions are of limited geometry change\, while those who do offer an 
 extreme alteration in span result in a "new" aircraft which has an airfoil
  that is not suitable for the new working point.\n\nThe proposed solution 
 presented in this work is of a folding\, reversible wing which enables sub
 stantial wingspan and airfoil alteration simultaneously. The efficiency of
  such an aircraft is defined and analyzed while a "step by step" procedure
  is laid out for the process of initial sizing. In addition\, the folding 
 maneuver results in an abnormal airfoil which is examined and wind tunnel 
 tested in order to assess the overall validity of the proposed configurati
 on.
