Introduction

The field of aerospace engineering has seen significant advancements in recent years, with a particular focus on developing innovative technologies for improving aircraft performance and efficiency. One such technology that has gained traction in recent years is the use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for actuation systems in aircraft wings. SMAs are materials that have the ability to “remember” their original, predetermined shape and return to it when subjected to a specific stimulus, such as temperature or stress.

These unique properties make SMAs an ideal candidate for actuator systems in morphing aircraft wings, which can change shape in flight to optimize aerodynamic performance. The purpose of this thesis is to design and develop a shape memory alloy-based actuator for morphing aircraft wings, with the aim of improving aircraft efficiency and maneuverability.
