Not quite reinventing the wheel but harping back to Fred and Orville Wrights idea.
MIT and NASA have designed a new kind of bendable, 'morphing wing' system that is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and assembled by small robots.
The new structure could simplify the manufacturing process and greatly reduce fuel consumption by improving the wing's aerodynamics.
MIT News.
The new wings are cloaked in a 'skin' made over overlapping pieces that look very similar to scales or feathers, which makes the structure flexible and smoother aerodynamic surface.
The skin is made from 0.127 mm-thick Kapton (polyimide film), cut into strips with hole patterns on a CO2 laser cutter
