Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

Andres Arrieta handles a sample of the multistable structures that he and his research group at Purdue University are currently experimenting with to develop hypersonic systems that morph in response ...
