Abstract
This paper details the design and development of a hybrid actuator system combining surface actuated Shape memory alloys (SMAs) and trailing-edge Macro fibre composites (MFCs) for a NACA 4412 airfoil. This design allows both for a high-frequent (≈ 100 Hz) low-displacement actuation as well as a low-frequent large-displacement actuation. The design of the actuator system is highlighted, the simulation model is described and the test-setup is illustrated. Preliminary results are promising regarding the control of the desired lift.
