The dynamic response of Variable Sweep Wing Aircraft (VSWA) with the wing sweeping is presented. The center of gravity (cg) of the aircraft, location of each wing partition , and moment of inertia alter significantly due to the wing morphing, resulting in considerably change of the dynamics of the aircraft. The extended equations of motion (EOMs) suitable for morphing wing aircraft are derived. Compared with the traditional EOMs, there are 4 additional forces and moments exhibiting in the extended EOMs due to the wing morphing. The results show that the additional forces and moments can affect the flight control considerably.
