Different approaches are addressed which allow a fixed wing aircraft to demonstrate morphing features. These approaches include a variation in the thickness, stiffness and shape of a wing in terms of enhanced manoeuvrability, stability and storage. The concept, simulation and first experimental results are described on the basis of a micro aerial vehicle (MAV) which is an aircraft at the scale of a toy at around 1 metre in span or even significantly less. Finally some ideas and solution will be described and discussed with regards to enhanced manoeuvrability and endurance based on a vector-thrust propulsion principle.
