Abstract

The development of new structural aeronautics architectures together with the implementation of innovative materials is mandatory for succeeding in critical tasks, as aircraft efficiency improvement. For this reason, the Smart Structure concepts are taken into account for more and more aerospace applications and for the one here discussed. In this work, an application for a morphing wing trailing edge for a CS-25 category (regional transport) aircraft is presented. Attention has been paid to the design of a compliant rib structure, based on SMA technology, able to sustain the external aerodynamic loads and simultaneously allow controlled wing shape modification. The numerical results, achieved through a FE approach, have been presented in terms of trailing edge induced displacement and flap zone morphed shape.
