Flight performance drives the process of aircraft design. In this context, flexible structures are potential candidates to design aerodynamically efficient wings. However, aeroelastic effects inherent to flexible wings are barely characterized. The present project aims to design a vision-based system to measure in-flight flexible wing deformation.
