MORPHING AIRFOIL LEADING EDGE |
| 摘要 |
An airfoil may include a leading edge and a shape control mechanism. The leading edge may include a flexible leading edge skin having a first end, a second end, and an arc length defined therebetween. The shape control mechanism may be attached to the flexible leading edge skin at a plurality of support locations and may transition the flexible leading edge skin from a first shape having a first curvature profile to a second shape having a second curvature profile different than the first curvature profile without a change in the arc length. |

1. An airfoil, comprising:
a leading edge including a flexible leading edge skin having a first end, a second end, and an arc length defined therebetween; and a shape control mechanism attached to the flexible leading edge skin at a plurality of support locations and configured to transition the flexible leading edge skin from a first shape having a first curvature profile to a second shape having a second curvature profile different than the first curvature profile without a change in the arc length. |
