Adaptive compliant wing
An adaptive compliant wing is a wing which is flexible so that aspects of its shape can be changed in flight.

Airfoil
An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is the shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine), or sail (as seen in cross-section).

Boeing X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing
The X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) development program is a completed American research project that was undertaken jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing Phantom Works and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, where the technology was flight tested on a modified McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet.

Camber (aerodynamics)
In aeronautics and aeronautical engineering, camber is the asymmetry between the two acting surfaces of an aerofoil, with the top surface of a wing (or correspondingly the front surface of a propeller blade) commonly being more convex (positive camber).

Fixed-wing aircraft
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft, such as an airplane or aeroplane (note the two different spellings), which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings.

Flap (aeronautics)
Flaps are a type of high-lift device used to increase the lift of an aircraft wing at a given airspeed.

Parker variable wing
The Parker variable wing is a wing configuration in biplane or triplane aircraft designed by H.F. Parker in 1920.

Variable-incidence wing
A variable-incidence wing has an adjustable angle of incidence relative to its fuselage.

Variable-sweep wing
A variable-sweep wing, colloquially known as a "swing wing", is an airplane wing, or set of wings, that may be swept back and then returned to its original position during flight.

Westland N.1B
The Westland N.1B was a prototype British single-engined floatplane fighter aircraft of the First World War.
