FlexFoil Morphing Wing Technology Could Reshape the Future of Wing Design

The aerodynamics gurus at Aviation Partners are partnering with engineers at FlexSys to tap highly-inventive wing-morphing technology to deliver performance improvements for aircraft. The technology involves mimics nature in introducing variable-geometry control surface mechanisms that can continuously reshape a without the need for joints. The result is a surface that is more aerodynamically efficient, while using less parts, and saving weight.
