Fiber matrix for a geometric morphing wing

摘要

An airfoil member ( 14 ) includes a geometric morphing device ( 18 ). The geometric morphing device ( 18 ) has an inflatable member ( 30 ). The inflatable member ( 30 ) has an exterior wall ( 32 ) and multiple inflated states. The exterior wall ( 32 ) includes a layer with one or more fibers embedded therein. The exterior wall ( 32 ) controls size, shape, and expansion ability of the geometric morphing device ( 18 ).
