Morphing-wing electric aircraft for stable VTOL

Javier Lawrence Gabriel Catolos · Lab Project (B.Sc.) · 2025

A morphing-wing electric aircraft that combines rotor-style vertical take-off and landing with fixed-wing cruise efficiency. The design pairs tapered and symmetric airfoils and was evaluated with ANSYS simulations of lift, drag and airflow across take-off, transition and cruise.
