consider strictly commands to the morphing actuators. The amount of deflection of the

morphing; however, is difficult to interpret because it is a deflection of the material and

it is not expressed in a physical dimension such as degrees.

 Figure 5-9: Response to Morphing Doublet for Roll(left) and Yaw Rate(right)



 The roll rate and yaw rate in Figure 5-9 are measured in response to the doublet

commanded to the morphing servo. These measurements indicate the roll rate is

considerably higher than the yaw rate. Thus, the morphing is clearly an attractive

approach for roll control because of the nearly-pure roll motion measured in response

to the morphing commands.

 A separate morphing doublet is commanded at a different time as shown in

Figure 5-10 in order to consider the modeling for a different maneuver. Similarly, this


maneuver consists of strictly morphing actuation and no rudder input.
