This paper describes the development and the wind tunnel test of a variable geometry morphing airfoil using corrugated structures. Proof-of-concept study of a morphing wing with corrugated flexible seamless flap-like structure is verified by finite element analysis, and a prototype is manufactured using carbon fiber reinforced plastics. For the actuation system, two servomotors are installed inside the prototype wing to control the airfoil shape by the chordwise tension of the connected wires. Successful actuation of the prototype wing is demonstrated under the air speed up to 30 m/s in the wind tunnel test. Basic aerodynamic properties are also evaluated in comparison to traditional airfoil with a hinged control surface. Lift increase of variable corrugated wing is recognized compared to the traditional wing when the aileron angle increases 資料番号: PA1420015000
