Design and Analysis of Morphing Wing
Main Article Content
Abstract
In aeronautics, a morphing wing is an advanced wing design capable of "morphing," that is, altering its shape in response to different flight conditions. Recent advancements in materials and manufacturing processes have increased interest in morphing wings to further enhance the aerodynamic performance of flying bodies. Through morphing, this research aims to obtain better aerodynamic parameters compared to a conventional wing. This study involves Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and wind tunnel experiments on the NACA 2412 airfoil at various Angles of Attack (AoA) to validate and enhance findings obtained from both theoretical and experimental analyses. Furthermore, the experimental data are obtained from wind tunnel testing conducted in a low-speed, open-circuit, suction-type wind tunnel under low-velocity conditions. The aerodynamic parameters data like Lift Coefficient (CL) and Drag Coefficient (CD) from the conventional wing and the morphed are compared and better results are expected from this data were CL and CD are much higher as compared to morphed NACA 2412.
