This experimental morphing wing, developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore, uses Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) piezoelectric actuators integrated beneath its composite skin. The actuators modify the wing's camber, allowing the airfoil to adopt different aerodynamic profiles without conventional hinged flaps. Instead of deflecting a discrete control surface, the wing itself changes shape while maintaining a continuous aerodynamic surface. The research combines smart materials, composite structures, and aeroelastic design to investigate adaptive wing technologies for future aircraft. Source: temaseklabaratories on YT

One of the more unusual aircraft designs of the early 1920s was the Gastambide-Levavasseur prototype, developed by French aviation pioneer Léon Levavasseur. It featured a variable wing surface that could change area during flight — a radical concept for its time.👀

A flight like this shows what our #Global8000 is built to do. At Farnborough International Airshow, where the industry comes together to see what capability looks like in real conditions, this flight says more than any claim can. It shows how the fastest business jet is designed to move with accuracy, consistency, and confidence throughout every phase of flight. This is performance in its purest form. #FIA2026

Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland have developed a bioinspired robot called GOAT that can change its shape to adapt to different environments. It moves by adjusting the length of its cables, allowing it to morph and travel efficiently across various terrains. This shape-shifting ability makes it useful for exploration and rescue missions, and it was introduced in 2025.

Flywing has developed the X-WING, a compact VTOL FPV aircraft that combines vertical takeoff with fast fixed-wing flight. It can take off vertically, hover, and switch to forward flight with a single command for smooth and stable performance. With long flight time and a foldable design, it blends the advantages of both drones and airplanes.
