title = "Measurements of a symmetric airfoil morphed by macro fiber composite actuators",
abstract = "This study presents the geometric and aerodynamic properties of a symmetric airfoil model that uses macro fiber composite actuators to change the shape of its upper and lower surfaces. In the design discussed, these thin and light piezoelectric actuators are bonded to the inside and become an integral part of the skin of the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil. Still-air and wind-tunnel measurements in different flow regimes are performed to assess the characteristics associated with the changes of the shape of the airfoil. The results obtained will be used to design and fabricate a wing with morphing surfaces for testing in a remote-controlled aircraft.",
