Abstract

technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an aircraft capable of changing the shape of the wing. Background technique
[0002] Wings are the main components of an aircraft that can be reconfigured in flight. Deliberately changing the wing shape in flight (such as wing sweep, changing wingspan and camber, etc.) can effectively increase the flight performance of the wing. Among them, the effect of changing the wingspan and wing area is the most prominent. For example, an aircraft usually requires a high aspect ratio and a large wing area when cruising, while a low aspect ratio and a small wing area are required for an aircraft to fly at high speed. Small aspect ratio and large swept wings are widely used in modern supersonic aircraft. The supersonic drag is small, but the aerodynamic efficiency is low at low speed, and the lift characteristics are not good. Wings in turn make supersonic performance worse. Variable aspect ratio aircraft can solve the contradic...
