An Efficient SDOF Sweep Wing Morphing Technology for eVTOL-UAV and Experimental Realization

The presented study demonstrates that UAVs can be flown with a morphing wing to develop essential aerodynamic efficiency without a tail structure, which decides the operational cost and flight safety. The mechanical control for morphing is discussed, where the system design, simulation, and experime...
