| Sumario: | In this study, the morphing technology was applied on winglets for the CRJ-700 transport regional aircraft with the aim to improve its aerodynamic performance. The LARCASE Virtual Research Simulator VRESIM is equipped with highest Level D certified flight data for the CRJ-700. The flight and geometrical data of the CRJ-700 were used to quantify the aerodynamic benefits of the CRJ-700 equipped with a morphing winglet versus its reference winglet. The structural design and the mechanism allowing its rotation were used to allow the orientation of the winglet with angles between 90° and -90°. The control of the orientation of the morphing winglet with its mechanism was finally carried out using the Matlab/ Simulink interface. Therefore, a new concept of morphing winglet was obtained in this research. |
