The effect analysis of the morphing concept on the small swept flying wings

Abstract

The UAV manoeuvrability when classical control surfaces are used is limited. At present, the research focuses on the biological implications regarding total, partial or local morphing changes which might enable better trajectory control. The current paper shows an application of the flying wings with elements of twist morphing at plane edges meant to reveal a global optimum area of turning features, by use of theoretical and numerical methods.
