ABSTRACT:
An airfoil member (14) includes a geometric morphing device (18). The geometric morphing device (18) has an inflatable member (30). The inflatable member (30) has an exterior wall (32) and multiple inflated states. The exterior wall (32) includes a layer with one or more fibers embedded therein. The exterior wall (32) controls size, shape, and expansion ability of the geometric morphing device (18).
