ABSTRACT:
A closed shear flexible panel has upper and lower surfaces each having front ends which define a leading edge and rear edges which define a trailing edge. The rear edges are slideable longitudinally with respect to each other when a torsional force is applied to the panel or a linear force is applied to the rear edges to induce a spanwise gradient pitch in the panel.
