The development of elastomeric materials for adaptive wings focuses on the elasticity at -55 °C to ensure morphing at cruise altitudes. FEM simulations and mechanical tests are carried out to optimize fatigue and aging properties of this new multi-material device. Two large skin panels are manufactured and successfully assembled into a true-scale wind tunnel demonstrator for the experimental validation of adaptive trailing edge device functionality in simulated operative conditions.
