The trailing edge of the variable camber wing is mainly composed of flexible skin and deformable ribs. The connection method of the skin and ribs will directly affect the performance of the wing. The use of corrugated flexible skin and segmented ribs can achieve the continuous, uniform and coordinated deformation of the trailing edge. This paper adopts an origami-style connection structure for the corrugated flexible skin and segmented ribs, which can store and transfer deformations, match the skin and rib segments geometrically, and transfer the load to the ribs evenly. The calculation results show that the variable camber trailing edge of this structure has good deformation capacity and high out-of-plane load-bearing capacity.
