Cover Story: In the Clean Sky Program, the authors were involved in ambitious research aimed at the design and technological validation of a true-scale morphing flap tailored for CS-25 category aircraft.
A single slotted flap with airfoil camber adaptivity was first proved to be a valid replacement for a conventional double slotted flap owing to superior aerodynamic performance and lower deployment system complexity and noise footprint.
The feasibility of a morphing camber structure was then shown by means of rational analysis followed by experimental evidence; a novel flap architecture was proposed, as a smart integration of a robotic load-bearing structure and robust electromechanical actuators.
