A variety of aircraft morphing technologies have been investigated and represented by various researchers in the public domain. The morphing wing concepts involved the modification of aircraft wings during the in-flight course. Most of the technologies/concepts were based on biomimicry, where wing aerodynamic performance improved due to the change in wing shape. Here we describe a novel concept where in the flow parameters of airfoils arranged in configurations are investigated. The flow parameters are investigated using the numerical simulation tool ANSYS. A 2d flow simulation is performed using a Fluent solver to evaluate the flow configuration of the airfoils arranged in different configurations. The first configuration of airfoils is named a base, wherein the airfoils are arranged at zero angles of attack. The other two configurations are arranged by increasing the angular position of airfoils i.e., 15, 30, and 45 degrees. All these configurations are aerodynamically investigated at different sub-sonic speeds.
