The paper presents the design, numerical simulation, and wind tunnel experimental testing of a fuzzy logic-based control system for a new morphing wing actuation system equipped with Brushless DC (BLDC) motors, under the framework of an international project between Canada and Italy. Morphing wing is a prime concern of the aviation industry and, due to the promising results, it can improve fuel optimization. In this idea, a major international morphing wing project has been carried out by our university team from Canada, in collaboration with industrial, research, and university entities from our country, but also from Italy, by using a full-scaled portion of a real aircraft wing equipped with an aileron. The target was to conceive, manufacture, and test an experimental wing model able to be morphed in a controlled manner and to provide in this way an extension of the laminar airflow region over its upper surface, producing a drag reduction with direct impact on the fuel consumption economy. The work presented in the paper aims to describe how the experimental model has been developed, controlled, and tested, to prove the feasibility of the morphing wing technology for the next generation of aircraft.
本文介绍了一种基于模糊逻辑的控制系统的设计、数值模拟和风洞实验测试，该系统用于配备无刷直流（BLDC）电机的新型变形机翼驱动系统，该研究处于加拿大和意大利之间国际项目的框架内。变形机翼是航空业主要关注的问题，鉴于其取得的可观成果，它能够改善燃油优化。基于这一理念，我们来自加拿大的大学团队与本国以及意大利的工业、研究和大学机构合作，利用配备副翼的真实飞机机翼的全尺寸部分开展了一个重大的国际变形机翼项目。目标是构思、制造并测试一个能够以可控方式变形的实验机翼模型，从而在其上表面扩展层流气流区域，实现减阻，这将直接影响燃油消耗经济性。本文介绍的工作旨在描述实验模型是如何开发、控制和测试的，以证明变形机翼技术在下一代飞机上的可行性。
