Aerodynamics and Multidisciplinary Design Requirements on Morphing Aircraft
Morphing aircraft can change the shape of the aircraft through local or global deformation,adapt to various mission requirements in real-time,and maintain optimal aerodynamic performance in various flight environments.It has become a cutting-edge research hotspot in the field of aerospace in the 21st century.This paper first outlines the relationship between the aerodynamics of morphing aircraft and overall design,structure,control,noise,and stealth.Next,in response to the mission requirements faced by aerodynamic design,the requirements on different deformation modes in aerodynamic and multidisciplinary design requirements such as increased lift and drag reduction,stability and controllability,reduced aerodynamic noise,and enhanced aircraft stealth were elaborated.Finally,it also looks forward to future development directions,providing reference for the development of morphing aircraft aerodynamics and multidisciplinary design.
