  • Aerodynamically Adaptive Morphing Aerofoils

Overview

Modern aerospace systems demand high efficiency, adaptability, and performance. At the frontier of this evolution are morphing aerofoils—structures capable of changing shape in response to flight conditions. Our R&D efforts are centered around developing smart aerofoils that enhance performance across a range of aircraft and UAV applications. These aerofoils represent a leap beyond conventional wing design. By actively adjusting their geometry based on flight dynamics, they contribute to energy savings, improved flight control, and reduced acoustic signatures.
