In reality, if the aircraft can achieve such "plasticity and changeability" to a certain extent, it can bring about a very large performance improvement, and it will also exert brand new functions during its operation.
A few days ago, Li Xiaoping, Dean of the School of Space Science and Technology of Xidian University, said that Chinese scientists have carried out research on related aircraft materials and intelligent control, and will conduct more explorations in the field of flexible and deformable cross-domain intelligent flight.
According to reports, cross-airspace and cross-speed cross-domain flight is the most disruptive and transformative strategic development direction in the aerospace field.
For example, the shape memory polymer intelligent composite material developed by Harbin Institute of Technology not long ago, the deployable flexible solar cell system using this material structure has successfully achieved on-orbit verification. Smart structures based on shape memory polymer composites will also be applied to China's first Mars exploration mission-"Tianwen-1".
