Shape Memory Alloy : Adding smart wings to aircrafts

SMAs as actuators have high potential applications in aircraft and space due to lighter weight, thus making them more energy efficient as compared to bulky mechanical actuators. In the light of recent advancement, NASA demonstrated a nickel-titanium SMA actuator used in folding the outer portions of wings during flight. The SMA based actuator helps in changing the plane angle easily in accordance to wind direction, reducing energy use during maneuvering. Among many alternatives, SMA is promised to be most suitable alternate for hydraulic systems. Smart wings incorporating shape memory alloys, requires less component for movement without compromising even at subsonic and supersonic speeds. The NASA project Spanwise Adaptive Wing (SAW) aims at exploring these smart materials further, and consider it to be a key aeronautical technology for the aircraft of tomorrow. These developments tend to have positive impact on the overall growth of Shape Memory Alloy Market.
