Morphing Wing with high force actuator

Morphing wing created in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University - Kingsville by an undergraduate team of James Mejia, Benjamin Narvaez, and Kyle Thompson. They did all wing fabrication, except the rubber muscles, which I filament wound and created later. A graduate student, Madhuri Lingala conducted a simple FEA analysis. Here is a journal paper based on this wing: Peel, L., Meija, J., Narvaez, B., Thompson, K., Lingala, M., Development of a Simple Morphing Wing using Elastomeri
