The present thesis investigates the effects of electroactive morphing for smart wing designs. Morphing concepts are adopted for future aircraft configurations, targeting increased aerodynamic performance, ``greener'' air vehicles and efficient air transport. Morphing airfoils and wings are investigated by means of numerical simulation and the physical mechanisms of morphing are analyzed. The hybrid, partly bio-inspired electroactive morphing is examined. The hybrid concept entails the combination of different classes of electroactive actuators that yield turbulence modifications at multiple scales when realized simultaneously.
