...Miguel Castillo Acero Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the studies to develop structural highly orthotropic panels. These types of panels provide the capabilities required for structural morphing. They are highly deformable in one given direction; and in the perpendicular direction...

...Spiros Pantelakis; Peter Horst; Giordano Tomassetti; Salvatore Ameduri; Antonio Carozza Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on a morphing architecture, conceived to produce droop nose effect, thus preserving high lift performance and laminar flow. Design/methodology/approach...

... Generation Wings), which is part of the seventh framework program of the EU. Design/methodology/approach The development of morphing technologies in SADE concentrates on the leading and trailing edge high‐lift devices. At the leading edge a smart gap and step‐less droop nose device is developed...
