Abstract:
A skin for an aircraft is configured to be disposed on a first rigid member and on a second rigid member. The second rigid member is movable with respect to the first rigid member and a distance is defined between the first rigid member and the second rigid member. A morphing member of the skin extends between the first rigid member and the second rigid member. The morphing member comprises first segments forming a first portion attached to the first rigid member and second segments forming a second portion attached to the second rigid member. The first and second portions are separated along a substantially linear seam in the absence of change in the distance and an orientation between the first rigid member and the second rigid member.
