[0002] Variable aircraft is one of the important development directions of future advanced aircraft, and is also the innovation research frontier in the field of aerospace; It is mainly embodied in the obvious overall performance advantages in cross-speed domain, cross-medium, etc., especially the cross-supersonic intelligent variable combat aircraft, which has good take-off, acceleration performance and supersonic flight capability; It can better perform economic cruise, monitoring, rapid arrival and penetration tasks.
[0003] Wing is the main source of aircraft lift and control force, so most of the deformation-related researches are concentrated in the deformation of the wing, which can be divided into micro-scale, medium-scale deformation and overall large deformation according to the deformation scale, wherein the most widely used in large-scale deformation research is variable sweep wing and telescopic wing.
[0004] For telescopic wings, most of the variable span concepts are to stack the outer section of the wing on the inner section to realize the change of the span and area. The telescopic expansion in flight will face complex aerodynamic load environment, the wing will be subjected to typical nonlinear aerodynamic load change and wing deflection deformation, and the wing deflection deformation will bring friction between the skins of the nested telescopic wing during the expansion process.
