The international project BAANG - Building Actions in Smart Aviation with Environmental Gains has now come to an end by exhibiting its scientific result - a morphing wing demonstrator - at the International Industrial Fair in Brno. The project was focusing on research in the field of so-called smart aviation under the lead of the Brno University of Technology (BUT) and brought together the expertise of BUT, TU Delft, Imperial College London, and TU Wien.

The Research Unit of Lightweight Design (E317-01) at the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering contributed to the design of the metamaterial forming the flexible hinge at the trailing edge as well as to the multidisciplinary optimization of the morphing wing. The research was mainly carried out by Michael Kofler as part of his PhD thesis and also involved a secondment at BUT.

The key success of this project was the effective interdisciplinary cooperation of the involved project partners.
