Polymorfné konštrukcie ako súčasť riadenia letúnov

Abstract

Goal of this work is to find out whether morphing wing configurations are a viable option for flight controls such as elevators, flaps, ailerons etc. This work is divided into 3 sections. First section is about general research of conventional wing constructions, materials used in aircraft and mechanisms used to actuate flight controls. Second section looks into construction of morphing wings, viable materials for these constructions, mechanism used to actuate them and finally designing a functioning morphing wing based on previous research. In final third part we are going to compare morphing configuration against conventional solutions used on aircraft today in CFD simulations as well as in a wind tunnel and compare the results gained by these simulations.
