ionic-morphing-wing

Use a morphing internal skeleton of balsa wood ribs and spar lets, with thin wax paper skin. Balsa provides a much better stiffness-to-mass ratio than Styrofoam while remaining very light. The skin allows small camber changes when ribs are actuated or pre-bent (morphing effect). For morphed-ionic wing = CL = 0.2 CD = 0.11
