This paper describes the design and experimental testing of a morphing droop nose ground demonstrator at different scales. A multi-level and multi-disciplinary design procedure goes from aerodynamic requirements to the realization of the prototypes. The functionality test of the full-scale device will contribute to increase the technological readiness level of the morphing concept.
