NASA has conducted wind tunnel tests that demonstrate a novel form of aircraft wing control could enhance maneuverability at supersonic speeds. The concept, known as "aeroelastic tailoring," involves intentionally designing aircraft wings to bend and twist under aerodynamic loads. This approach could reduce the need for conventional control surfaces, such as flaps and ailerons, which can experience severe aerodynamic heating at supersonic speeds. The tests, conducted in the Langley 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel, showed the concept could successfully control an aircraft in both subsonic and supersonic conditions. For further advancement of the concept, future research will explore innovative technologies such as shape memory alloys and active flow control to tailor wing shapes in real-time.
