Designand Fabrication Biomimetic Wing For Future Generation Aircraft
Project Description :

The present work will focus on the design and fabrication of a smart material based wing with morphing technologies for morphing wing aircraft. the current aircraft have fixed wing and some moving parts which help for take off and landing. this require higher energy and also limits the aerodynamic efficiency because of weight and size. here we proposed a special designed wing which inspired from natural bird which can move as per the required motion. the proposed wing will be flexible and can change its shape during operation for various mode. hence the aircraft can use for passenger carrier as well as for military operations. focused objectives of the present work is - design and development of a bio-inspired flexible moveable wing for aircraft. the wing is fabricated by using shape memory alloy and piezo-elctric material for wing tip. the wing model is developed by computed aided design and manufacture by 3d printing method. the characterization will be carry in wind tunnel experimental setup and finally an aircraft prototype will be developed. application of the wing for wing morphing aircraft with enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, enhancing fuel efficiency, improving cruise performances. piezoelectric materials exhibit a larger actuation bandwidth (up to 750 khz depending on electric field strength and dynamic effects), but shape memory alloys exhibit larger blocking stress and actuation strains. therefore the advanced wing based aircraft can used for multipurpose with high aerodynamic and fuel efficiency.
