Aerodynamic performance of aerofoils obtained from a geometric offset applied to a given initial aerofoil

Many studies concerning morphing aircraft concepts in which enhanced performance and increased energy efficiency are two of the main goals have been recently conducted. Some of those concepts deal with wing span changes. In line with those, in a variable-span wing of the telescopic type, the cross-s...
