Abstract

The design of a large displacement morphing wing leading edge from the structural point of view is presented in this article. The overall structural concept of the design and the novel approach of an hybrid rubber/composite skin are discussed. Key features such as the integral stringers, industrialization aspects concerning anti-/deicing strategies and the integration of Lightning Strike Protection are outlined. Furthermore, an energy based composite crack onset criterion is derived as it was used for the skin design. Finally, a test rig for a morphing leading edge is presented.
