摘要

The variable camber wing (VCW) mechanism synthesis is a present research aim. The variable camber wing is a main track for development of morphing aircraft from the past to the present due to it seems the high lift device in a traditional modern aircraft, but the separate flow due to its slot can be suppressed with the continuous shape changing. With structural-based camber change, the mechanism design requires a new technique in synthesizing the variable camber mechanism, which expects to adapt its’ trailing edge. The deflection angle causes the VCW to generate an additional lift to the main body wing. The two-step approach is used in designing the new VCW mechanism which is crucial when it starts with aerodynamic analysis at different deflected angles and follow with VCW mechanism synthesis. The mechanism synthesis expects to minimize the error between actual mechanism motion and target trailing edge points. The task of this research is to include design constraints to have the possibility of the four-bar mechanism to work well, and be able to work and be placed inside of the trailing edge. The optimizers are selected to tackle the problem is a variation of teaching learning-based optimization. The results show the proposed method with two-step approach which can synthesize the variable camber wing mechanism and also meet with the design targets.
