Abstract

The present chapter describes the design of the RS (“Reduced Scale”) prototype of the SMS project as well as the experiments carried out to quantify the gain in the aerodynamic performances thanks to the morphing. The sRS prototype has been actuated according Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) ensuring large cambering deformation (up to 15% of the chord) in low frequency (in the order of 1 Hz) and higher-frequency trailing—edge actuation (order of several hundreds of Hz) with low amplitude deformation (in the order of 1–5 mm). The combination of both is the so-called hybrid electroactive morphing, term and processing defined by INPT in the literature, Fig. 2.1.
