Future vehicle designs will see a paradigm shift from: 1) Steady to the unsteady world (e.g. flow control, adaptive morphing); 2) Passive to active; 3) Rigid designs to exploitation of flexibility and adaptability; 4) Few discrete to numerous distributed (e.g. sensors, control surfaces); 5) To obtain a vehicle that is always at optimum performance. Therefore, future designs will be inherently multidisciplinary, and the greatest technical challenges and opportunities occur at the intersection of disciplines COMSAC appears to be a step towards enabling the future vision.
