Morphing structures can contribute to reduce the fuel consumption of aircraft. In addition to the structure itself, an actuation system must be developed that meets the requirements for an aircraft control surface. The paper presents the design, test environment, and experimental results of an actuation system for a shape-variable trailing edge.
