In this contribution, we present a system of adaptive vortex generators (VGs) enabling an on-demand optimization of the airflow for high angles of attack. The generated vortices enhance the boundary layer with kinetic energy and prevent flow separation. The maximum cruise efficiency is ensured as VGs are stowed. The system presented uses active hybrid composites, where the actuation is initiated by...
This contribution focuses on the application potential of active fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures with integrated shape memory alloy (SMA) elements for new aerodynamic functions. The advantages of hybrid SMA FRP structures are highlighted, and promising application concepts are discussed. To illustrate the applicability of the technology, the developed manufacturing, design, and control approaches...
