Open-loop architecture. We show the method used to acquire the pressure data from the external surface of the flexible wing skin, using incorporated Kulite pressure sensors and the instrumentation of the morphing controller. The acquired pressure data are analyzed through fast Fourier transforms to detect the magnitude of the noise in the surfaceairflow.Subsequently,thedataare filteredbymeansofhigh-pass filtersandprocessedbycalculatingtheroot mean square of the signal to obtain a plot diagram of the noise in the airflow. This signal processing is necessary to remove the inherent noise electronically induced from the Tollmien-Schlichting waves, which are responsible for triggeringthetransitionfromlaminartoturbulent flow.The flexibleskinisrequiredtomorphtheshapeoftheairfoil throughtwoactuationpointstoachieve anoptimizedairfoil shapebasedonthe theoretical flowconditionssimilar to thosetestedinthewindtunnel.

The methodology and the results obtained during the wind-tunnel test proved that the concept and validityof thesystemin real timearediscussed in thispaper. Real-time acquisitionandsignalprocessing of pressure data are needed for further development of the closed-loop controller to obtain a fully automatic morphing wing system.
