Morphing Airframe Design

Morphing Airframe Design is a UAV airframe design approach that dynamically alters the aircraft’s structural geometry in-flight to optimize performance across varying flight conditions, distinguished from conventional fixed or simple adaptive designs by its continuous, large-scale shape transformation capability.
