Morphing skin for an aircraft

An aircraft skin assembly, the skin assembly comprising:

• a first rigid member, wherein the first rigid member comprises at least a portion of an aircraft structural frame;
• a second rigid member, wherein the second rigid member also comprises at least a portion of the aircraft structural frame, wherein the second rigid member is moveable with respect to the first rigid member, and wherein a distance is defined between the first rigid member and the second rigid member;
• a morphing member extending between the first rigid member and the second rigid member, wherein the morphing member compensates for at least one of a change in the distance and a change in an orientation between the first rigid member and the second rigid member;
• wherein the morphing member comprises:
• a plurality of first segments attached to the first rigid member;
• and a plurality of second segments attached to the second rigid member;
• wherein the first segments are moveable with respect to one another, wherein the second segments are moveable with respect to one another, wherein the first segments form a first portion and the second segments form a second portion and said portions are separated from one another along a substantially linear seam in the absence of change in the distance and the orientation between the first rigid member and the second rigid member.
