摘要
With the development and application of artificial intelligent technologies in the military field,future intelligent warfare is to demonstrate the following traits:more complex cognition and decision making,more rapid changes and evolution,and access and denial in the whole warfare. The next-generation flight vehicles will be flight-demand oriented,artificial-intelligence centered,and changing flexible. Smart morphing aircraft,obviously characterized by intelligent technology and deformation technology,can have dual advantages of fast algorithm upgrades and extremely flexible hardware. It introduces new flight modes and combat capabilities,and will therefore become an important trend. However,smart morphing aircraft design requires complicated technologies. The costs of deformation,such as the increased complexity of the machine system,pose challenges to aerodynamic design,flight control,and structural implementation. The challenges include the full-profile optimization,structural application,and performance prediction and validation in the deformation process,where the core problem is to achieve the optimal design in each shape in the context of multidisciplinary engineering. © 2023 AAAS Press of Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
