Enhance Military UAV Performance With FlexSys
Our control surfaces can take your operations to the next level.
-
FlexFoil™, our morphing control surface technology, delays flow separation, reducing drag when compared to conventional control surfaces.
-
Morphing control surfaces provide higher lift during takeoff and landing, enabling shorter takeoff and landing distances, improved climb gradient, higher takeoff payload capacity, and greater stall margin.
-
In a side-by-side comparison with conventional control surfaces, our technology required fewer parts. By virtue of its design, FlexFoil™ can reduce control surface weight by as much as 28%.
-
With our efficient design, fewer parts are required, resulting in fewer labor hours and line items to manage.
-
With improved aerodynamics, lower weight, and fewer manufactured parts, operators can experience lower fuel consumption and simpler maintenance.
Bring Us Your Impossible Problems
We provide a tailored approach to each challenge, considering your unique requirements each step of the way.
Materials
We can work with carbon fiber, fiberglass, aluminum, or titanium. Our proprietary technology allows us to test the feasibility of your preferred material in combination with morphing control surfaces.
Performance
Our solutions go beyond conventional design. FlexFoil™ can increase lift, decrease drag, decrease weight, and lower noise during takeoff and landing.
Manufacturing
FlexSys simplifies manufacturing, as our designs require fewer parts and labor hours. Manufacturing and maintenance considerations are part of each step in our process, ensuring smooth operations during and after delivery.
Proven Technology
In flight tests, FlexSys’ morphing control surfaces displayed lift benefits and aircraft noise reduction, making it a great option for use in military applications.
Our technology can be incorporated into your aircraft through retrofitting or clean-sheet design.
Many Possibilities
FlexFoil control surfaces are designed to seamlessly integrate into each application, including material matches and fatigue considerations.
Carbon fiber, fiberglass, or aluminum: you name the specs, we’ll make it happen.
