LATEST NEWS -- UPDATE LOGS:

[Feb 5th, 2008]: Uploaded Nima's material on flight dynamics.
[Apr 9th, 2007]: Updated material on active winglets. Successful flights with Anakin-1.5 can be downloaded here.
[Jan 17th, 2007]: Put Cansmart paper online. Uploaded presentations given at the 11-01-2007 review meeting. Updated contact section (Tomas, new team member, joined us a few months ago).
[July 18th, 2006]: Put some publications online. Uploaded presentations given at the 06-07-2006 review meeting. Updated contact section (Nima, new team member, joined us a few months ago).
[June 28th, 2006]: The flying wing with active winglets made its maiden flight... however a tree was walking by and interrupted the whole thing promptly (bad, bad tree). Download the movie here.
[Feb 27th, 2006]: Added new links, updated introduction about morphing aircraft structures.
[Feb 7th, 2006]: ongoing work about aerolastic tailoring, multi-stable structures, and compliant mechanisms is now online.
[Feb 3rd, 2006]: Released some 'fresh' research material online (adaptive winglets).
[Dec 18th, 2005]: New layout for the website, tried to comply more with the department webpage look and feel. Uploaded presentations given at the review meeting held on Dec 9th, 2005 (their directory has been hidden on purpose, so you need to know the exact path to access them -- I know I repeat myself). Put the 'mug shot' of Filippo online (see for yourself in the contact section); do not worry, he's no convict at all.
[June 6th, 2005]: Uploaded presentations given at the review meeting held on June 3rd, 2005 (their directory has been hidden on purpose, so you need to know the exact path to access them).
[May 20th, 2005]: Et voila! Here's the first release of the morphing aircraft website. The paint is still wet, a lot of things are missing (like the links in the 'links' section), but they will be added soon (by which I mean "possibly never"). Also, as the project comes along, more material will be released online, so check the page from time to time...
