Aircraft wing that can change shape during flight


Aircraft wing that can change shape during flight
NASA and MIT engineers have been working on a new generation of aircraft for some time. The most important feature of this aircraft will be to change the shape of the wing during the flight.
The aircraft, which is still in the design phase, has been intensified on the wings of the aircraft in order to be flexible. While engineers are able to develop an aircraft wing that is highly capable of deformation , this wing has the opportunity to change its shape to better control the momentum and direction of the aircraft.

This new generation of aircraft wing, which comes together with hundreds of interconnected small pieces, is much more flexible and lightweight compared to the classic wings. Thus, the airplanes with which the wing is mounted have the opportunity to use the energy much more efficiently.

Another benefit of the new aircraft wing type is the fact that the aircraft has a more balanced movement during landing and take-off.
