Aircraft designers have long pursued wings that can adapt to changing flight conditions. Fixed surfaces are always a compromise: a wing shape optimized for takeoff is rarely ideal for cruise, and one ...
Membrane wings in micro air vehicles (MAVs) represent a promising avenue for enhancing aerodynamic performance in low Reynolds number regimes. These flexible lifting surfaces, inspired by natural ...
In modern research and development contexts, aerial robotics are expanding beyond their hobbyist origins. A forthcoming generation of AI-enabled VTOL prototypes signifies a convergence wherein ...
Inspired by the Portulaca oleracea seedcoat, metamaterials fabricated by laser powder bed fusion realized tunable in-plane mechanical properties, large deformation recovery capability and functional ...

India’s fighter jets learn to ‘think in flight’: Meet DRDO-developed morphing wings that adapt like living organisms
New Delhi: Indian fighter jets may soon break free from the limitations of fixed wings. Thanks to a breakthrough in morphing wing technology, aircraft could adapt their wing shape dynamically during ...
Scientists undertook a study of dragonfly wings in order to better understand the relationship between a corrugated wing structure and vortex motions. They discovered that corrugated wings exhibit ...
