Modelling of Adaptive Wing Structures

Objective

An adaptive wing tip concept will be developed to enable controlled wash-in and wash-out
throughout the entire flight envelope. The concept, based upon adaptive stiffness structures
enables control of the aeroelastic deflections, and also facilitates gust load alleviation.
Furthermore, a mathematically based design tool will be developed making use of Reduced Order
Models (ROMs) of the wing structure and aerodynamics such that an inverse approach can be
employed to determine the required sizing of the internal aircraft structure, and also the position
and sizing of any adaptive structural components and actuators. The adaptive structural concept
and the inverse ROM approach will be demonstrated and evaluated on two real-size aircraft test
cases.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
