Abstract
Este estudio presenta el diseño y análisis de un ala flexible con capacidad de cambiar su geometría, pensada para ser impresa en 3D. El proyecto, basado en un perfil NACA 2412 y un mecanismo tipo fishBAC inspirado en las espinas de peces, busca reemplazar flaps tradicionales con una superficie más prolija, reduciendo el arrastre y mejorando la eficiencia aerodinámica. Las simulaciones CFD y de movimiento muestran su viabilidad técnica para aplicaciones en aeronaves pequeñas y su potencial para optimizar peso, complejidad mecánica y consumo energético.
This study presents the design and analysis of a flexible wing with the ability to change its geometry, designed to be 3D printed. The project, based on a NACA 2412 profile and a fishBAC-type mechanism inspired by fish bones, seeks to replace traditional flaps with a cleaner surface, reducing drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency. The CFD and motion simulations show the technical feasibility for applications in small aircraft and its potential to optimize weight, mechanical complexity and energy consumption.
