Results of multidisciplinary research activities focusing on the "use of aeroelasticity" concept. Development of potential of morphing airframe technologies based on SDS - Selectively Deformable Structures as one of promising concept for smart structures is investigated, aiming to combine required strength and stiffness with selective deformability of adaptive wings.
