New metal could morph aircraft wings while flying
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying on rigid flaps and heavy hydraulics. The key is a family of “metals with ...

New metal material could enable shape-shifting aircraft wings that adapt mid-flight
A team of researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) has created ...
A new material that once deformed will automatically return to its original shape when heated has been developed by researchers in the US. While this is not the first such “shape-memory metal”, the ...
Researcher Ken Gall uses this thermomechanical test frame to determine the maximum possible shape change of his team's shape-memory polymer. Shape-memory alloys and polymers are the contortionists of ...
