This paper investigates the influence of the morphing process on the aeroelastic characteristics of a folding wing. The multi-body dynamic model is formulated by Lagrange’s equation, and the Kriging technique is applied to build the aerodynamic model. The simulated results show that, the morphing process will induce a damping effect on the aeroelastic system of the folding wing.
