Abstract :
A networking mechanism was designed based on scalable trailing edge to satisfy the requirements of morphing wings. By this way, we can increase the lift coefficient and the aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft in the process of taking off and landing. We use Lagrange equations to set up the system dynamics model. Simulation results by Simulink and Fluent show that the whole system can realize the flexible curved transition and the system itself has good scalability. And it will have better improvement on the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft.
