Structural Design and Analysis of a Kinematic Mechanism for a Morphing Hyper-Elliptic Cambered Span (HECS) Wing

The HECS wing was developed by NASA Langley Research Center and has a nonplanar, hyper-elliptically swept leading and trailing edge as well as spanwise camber. For this wing, the leading and trailing edges are swept back according to a hyper-elliptical equation. The span of the wing is also defined...
