Asas metamórficas
Asas de membranas, totalmente flexíveis e que funcionam como músculos artificiais, foram testadas com sucesso em voo, abrindo o caminho para uma nova geração de microveículos aéreos não-tripulados.
Com melhores propriedades aerodinâmicas, esses pequenos drones podem voar por distâncias maiores e se tornarem mais baratos, ampliando sua utilização.
Inspiradas nas asas de morcegos e sem qualquer parte mecânica, as asas mudam de formato em resposta às forças que encontram.
Essas asas morfológicas são feitas com polímeros eletroativos, um tipo de músculo artificial que torna a membrana capaz de endurecer e amolecer em resposta a uma tensão elétrica.
Alterando a tensão de entrada, a forma da membrana se altera, o que permite alterar as características aerodinâmicas das asas durante o voo.
Da simulação ao mercado
“Ninguém antes tentou simular o comportamento em voo de asas similares às de morcego, então tivemos que voltar aos fundamentos, desenvolver os modelos matemáticos e construir o software de simulação multifísica que precisávamos a partir do zero. Nós tivemos que ter certeza que ele poderia modelar não só as próprias asas, mas também os fluxos aerodinâmicos em torno delas e o efeito do campo elétrico,” disse o professor Rafael Palacios, do Imperial College de Londres.
Coube ao seu colega Stefano Buoso, da Universidade de Southampton, fazer a parte prática, incorporando os resultados das simulações em um pequeno drone de teste com 50 centímetros de envergadura.
O microavião foi projetado para voar sobre a superfície do mar, onde poderia pousar com segurança se algo desse errado. Mas deu tudo certo, conforme as previsões do simulador.
“Esta é uma mudança de paradigma na abordagem do design de MAVs [Micro Air Vehicles]. Em vez da abordagem tradicional de reduzir o projeto das aeronaves já existentes, estamos constantemente mudando a forma da membrana sob diferentes condições de vento para otimizar seu desempenho aerodinâmico,” disse Palacios.
A equipe já está trabalhando em um protótipo com os requisitos necessários para colocação do drone com asas de morcego no mercado. (Inovação Tecnológica)
