Produktbeschreibung

Morphing Wings Technologies: Large Commercial Aircraft and Civil Helicopters offers a fresh look at current research on morphing aircraft, including industry design, real manufactured prototypes and certification. This is an invaluable reference for students in the aeronautics and aerospace fields who need an introduction to the morphing discipline, as well as senior professionals seeking exposure to morphing potentialities. Practical applications of morphing devices are presented-from the challenge of conceptual design incorporating both structural and aerodynamic studies, to the most promising and potentially flyable solutions aimed at improving the performance of commercial aircraft and UAVs.

Morphing aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during flight. The book consists of eight sections as well as an appendix which contains both updates on main systems evolution (skin, structure, actuator, sensor, and control systems) and a survey on the most significant achievements of integrated systems for large commercial aircraft.

• Provides current worldwide status of morphing technologies, the industrial development expectations, and what is already available in terms of flying systems
• Offers new perspectives on wing structure design and a new approach to general structural design
• Discusses hot topics such as multifunctional materials and auxetic materials
• Presents practical applications of morphing devices

Autorenporträt

Dr. Antonio Concilio took his degree in Aeronautics Engineering with honour at the University of Napoli "Federico II? (Italia) in 1989; there, he was also awarded his PhD in Aerospace Engineering in 1995. In 2007 he completed the ECATA Master in Aerospace Business Administration, at ISAE-Supaero, Toulouse (France). He supervised more than 10 Doctoral (PhD) theses. Since 1989 he works as a Researcher at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (Italia), where he is currently the Head of the Adaptive Structures Division. Since 2005, he is a lecturer at the PhD School "SCUDO? at the University of Napoli "Federico II? ("Introduction to Smart Structures, Theory and Applications?). He is author of more than 150 scientific papers, presented at conferences or published into specialised journals.

Rezensionen

"This book presents a general introduction and comprehensive review of the stateof-the-art morphing wing technology (MWT) in sub-system and aircraft level. It is well-structured, well-written and edited with rich literature in the subject. It provides useful knowledge and a wide scope of MWT through case studies from completed research programmes. After so much research effort and achievement in this field over a couple of decades, it is really indeed the right time to produce such a book on this particular subject. Although the book is produced in a form of a compilation of technical reports and papers, some of the figures need more editing effort for satisfactory quality. Like the review of a journal paper, the comments of a negative aspect do not imply a negative feedback on the book." --The Aeronautical Journal
