MechaTwing Summer School

The second edition of the MechaTwing Summer School will take place from 14 to 18 September 2026, within the framework of the MechaTwing project, funded by the European Union and jointly organized by Czech Technical University, TU Wien, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and Politecnico di Torino.

The event will bring together researchers, scientists, and experts through lectures, workshops, and technical discussions, with a focus on the combined control of morphing and aeroelasticity of aircraft wings.

This Summer School will focus on the advanced and challenging topic of using aircraft wing actuation mechanisms to achieve combined control of wing profile morphing and aeroelastic behaviour. While effective morphing requires low structural stiffness and minimal deformation forces, aeroelastic stability depends on high stiffness. Our approach introduces the concept of mechatronic stiffness, enabling both requirements to be fulfilled within a single system.
The Summer School will also present the latest results of the project.

The detailed programme will be defined and shared in the coming weeks.
The Summer School will be held in English.

Registration is open via email.
Registration cut-off date: 30 August 2026.
