Geometric morphing wing

An airfoil member altering system for an airfoil member comprising:

• at least one geometric morphing device comprising:
• at least one inflatable member having at least one exterior wall and a plurality of inflated states;
• and
• a fiber mesh that is coupled to at least a portion of said at least one exterior wall and changes in shape according to fiber angle;
• said at least one geometric morphing device is adjustable in size and shape by changing inflated state of said at least one inflatable member;
• at least one vehicle performance characteristic sensor generating vehicle performance signals;
• a pump fluidically coupled to said at least one inflatable member;
• and
• a controller electrically coupled to said at least one vehicle performance sensor and said pump and altering size and shape of said at least one geometric morphing device in response to said vehicle performance signals.

A method of forming a geometric morphing device for an aircraft comprising:

• determining flight conditions for the aircraft;
• determining inflatable members distributions and characteristics in response to said flight conditions;
• determining fiber angle distributions and characteristics in response to said flight conditions;
• and
• forming geometric morphing device in response to said quantity and distribution of inflatable members, said fiber angle distributions, and said fiber characteristics.
