Langley and allowed to show that the expected improvements in performance could be achieved. A summary of the Phase I achievements has been given in detail in [41-44]. 

Findings in Phase I were then used to design a 30% full span model of an uninhabited combat air vehicle (UCAV) in Phase II as shown in Fig. 8.7 [45],

Shape control and active flow, the mainly static deformation of space and aerodynamic structures to either improve communication performance of antennas or adapt structures to optimum aerodynamic fluid flow, both achieved by integrated actuation mechanisms.
