Starting from the previous activities developed by Politenico di Milano in the framework of FP7NOVEMOR, this paper reports the aeroelastic assessment carried out on the so-called Reference Aircraft to validate the proposed morphing concepts. Indeed, in the case of morphing devices based on compliant structures like ones here proposed, the aeroelastic assessment is fundamental to verify the reliability of the proposed morphing solutions. After a reminder on the tools developed aiming at the design of variable camber morphing wings, the paper describes the main aeroelastic results obtained from the application of the morphing concepts based on compliant structures to a typical regional aircraft.
