Abstract

A morphing skin for an air vehicle structure, the skin being formed by a composite material 1 comprising: a multiplicity of fibres 3, a matrix 5 incorporating the fibres, and a thermo-sensitive material 7, such as a thermo plastic. The thermo-sensitive material is reversibly transitionable in response to a change in temperature between an ambient temperature mode, in which the thermo-sensitive material is capable of transferring loads in the composite material, and a heated mode in which the ability of the thermo-sensitive material to transfer the loads is reduced. This allows the stiffness of the skin to be temporarily reduced to enable the skin to be morphed into a different shape. The skin may be connectable to a heating apparatus for heating the thermo-sensitive material. The fibres may be electrically conductive and the heating apparatus may be arranged to pass a current through the fibre to thereby heat the thermo-sensitive material. The fibres may be carbon fibres.
