Modeling and simulation method of unsteady aerodynamics on morphing wings were investigated. The Unsteady Vortex Lattice Method is employed to model the unsteady aerodynamics of 3-D potential flow field surrounding the wing. An UVLM computer code was then developed and validated for numerical simulation. A morphing wing which changes its dihedral angle with constant angular velocity was investigated by the code, and the lift, induced drag, and pitching moment coefficients time histories were obtained. The results show that the UVLM code is an effective tool for simulations of unsteady aerodynamics on morphing wings.
