This is a promotional video for the Morpheus Laboratory located at the National Institute of Aerospace in Hampton, VA. At the Morpheus Lab, graduate students perform multi-disciplinary research with applications related to aerospace engineering. Some of this research includes: * flapping wing (ornithopter) aircraft research in the form of: .... aerodynamics modeling .... dynamics and controls .... flight control and data acquisition hardware development .... passive and active morphing technologies .... ornithopter design * smart structures and materials research focusing on .... spatially distributed sensors and actuators .... spatial weighting of smart materials .... Electro-active Polymer muscle actuators .... Electro-active Polymer synthetic jets .... nano-precision position actuators and control .... actuator modeling, characterization, and system identification * fixed wing aircraft research in .... Lift Distribution Control .... spatially distributed and optimized actuation .... spatially distributed, conformal aerodynamic sensors .... extended-endurance flight based on environmental energy extraction Be sure to visit the Morpheus website at research.nianet.org/morpheuslab and thanks for watching.
