美国麻省理工学院和美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的研究人员联合研发出一种新型可变形机翼。其由小型、轻量的碳纤维增强复合材料模块化结构组装而成,实现了机翼整体平滑变形,不仅能够提升机翼空气动力学性能,还能够大幅简化机翼制造过程并降低燃料消耗,同时提升整机飞行的敏捷性。该新型可变形机翼的基本原理就像“乐高积木”一样,利用一系列微型、轻量化结构模块——“数 Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and NASA have jointly developed a new deformable wing. It is assembled from a compact, lightweight, carbon fiber reinforced composite modular structure that provides a smooth overall wing deformation that not only enhances the wing aerodynamics but also greatly simplifies the wing manufacturing process and reduces fuel consumption while Improve the agility of the whole flight. The basic principle of this new deformable wing is the same as that of ”LEGO bricks", using a series of miniature, lightweight structural modules -
