Bizav Airframers Eye Possibility for FlexSys Wing Morphing
Aviation Partners FlexSys, in discussions with four OEMs about possibilities, has identified a KC-135 inboard flap as one of the first applications.
With the pliability of modern aircraft skin surfaces, FlexSys believes in the feasability of replacing hinged control surfaces such as ailerons, flaps and elevators with shape-morphing structures capable of more efficient low-drag aerodynamic control.
