Increasing environmental awareness and increasing fuel prices push aircraft industry to enhance aircraft efficiency. Morphing is considered a promising technology for future and next-generation aircrafts. Morphing aircraft changes its external geometry significantly during flight which moderates the design requirements. Adaptive Trailing Edge Device (ATED) is designed and manufactured under SARISTU (Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures) project. The main challenge is to design and manufacture the smart ATED structure able to support the necessary loads, but it is also capable of changing its geometry. The structure design and actuation system are interrelated. Integration methodology drives multi-disciplinary thinking group from the preliminary design phase. In essence, this considerably amplifies the overall complexity of this work. After manufacturing the ATED, functionality tests have been performed successfully.
