The advantages of using shape memory alloys (SMAs) in aeronautical applications are various (compactness, lightness, etc.). Some of the most interesting aeronautical applications involving SMAs are briefly examined with a focus on wing morphing, propulsion systems, and noise reduction. In particular, the potential of SMAs to realize adaptive flaps according to two different architectures, compliant and kinematic, is discussed, examining the pros and cons.

Abstract
The advantages of using shape memory alloys (SMAs) in aeronautical applications are various (compactness, lightness, etc.). Some of the most interesting aeronautical applications involving SMAs are briefly examined with a focus on wing morphing, propulsion systems, and noise reduction. In particular, the potential of SMAs to realize adaptive flaps according to two different architectures, compliant and kinematic, is discussed, examining the pros and cons.File in questo prodotto:
