Abstract
To provide an aircraft wing which has both high bending flexibility in the wing chord direction and high capacity to maintain the wing shape in the wing span direction, and to which morphing aircraft technology can be applied in the high-speed regime where aerodynamic forces are high.The wing is formed by arranging a plurality of CFRP rods having maximum anisotropic stiffness in the axial direction, so as to be parallel to the wing span direction, and filling the gaps between the CFRP rods with an elastic material.
