A morphing wing for an aircraft includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a tip, and a root. A plurality of structural ribs is disposed between the root and tip so that they extend between the top surface and the bottom surface and intersect with a lateral axis thereof. At least one active member connects between two adjacent structural ribs along or at a first angle to the lateral axis. The active member is actively adjustable. At least one passive member connects between the two adjacent structural ribs along or at a second angle to the lateral axis. The passive member is passively adjustable. Adjustment of at least one active member moves the adjacent structural ribs with respect to one another, thereby morphing the wing from a first configuration to a second configuration.
