• Zero Poisson’s ratio cellular structure for two-dimensional morphing applications (2015, background): “Morphing wing layouts are classified into three major types: planform alteration (involving span, chord, and sweep changes), out-of-plane transformation (twist, dihedral/gull, and span-wise bending), and airfoil adjustment (camber and thickness) [1, 2].”
• Morphing aircraft based on smart materials and structures: A state-of-the-art review (2016, background): “The degree of morphing in a wing can be classified as large, medium, or small (Gomez and Garcia, 2011; Jacob and Smith, 2009; Sofla et al., 2010) depending on the dimension that varies.”
• Wing morphing control with shape memory alloy actuators (2013, background): “The main reason is the potential gain in aerodynamic efficiency is offset by factors such as vehicle weight, power requirements, and system complexity (Sofla et al., 2010).”
• A review of modelling and analysis of morphing wings (2018, background): “A large body of work on morphing structures exists, and is based either on material or shape morphing mechanisms [1-12].”
