(ARCHIVE) Shape Adaptable Morphing Wing Technology

*Legacy Program | Archive Content*

Conventional aircraft are generally designed and optimized for a single mission. Our engineers are changing the game of future aircraft development with a Variable Camber Compliant Wing (VCCW). This groundbreaking technology has the potential to enable a wing to morph its shape to flight conditions. VCCW demonstrated enhanced maneuverability that can increase wingspan without structural weight penalty, reduce drag, reduce noise, and maximize mission range by more than 10%. This technology may also control a tailless aircraft in roll, pitch, and yaw using continuous lift and drag distributions, which would reduce antenna signature by removing the vertical tail.
