This paper depicts the way making use of the Shape Memory Alloy in aircraft hydraulic system and the feasibility accomplishing the concept of self-adapting deformable wing. The latest application of Shape Memory Alloy in aircraft engine variable section nozzle enlarged the Shape Memory Alloy serving territory. This paper describes the fundamental principle of Shape Memory Alloy and special material such as Shape Memory Alloy, sensor, actuator and electronic control cell together and bears load. The author summarizes the experience in hydraulic system using SMA and presents the difficulties and essentials in practice. Finally the author prospects SMA's bright future in various fields of aircraft.
