A Span displacement graphs and B chord displacement graphs for all AoAs at the speed of 5 ms−1. C Coefficient of lift (CL) vs Angle of Attack (AoA) for all stable states at the speed of 5 ms−1. D Required power and E morphing energy consumption to actuate the bistable morphing system (red line) and maintain the morphing state in the traditional morphing system (blue line).
