4.2.3. Local Maxima

The local maxima are defined as solutions indicating maximal scores regarding at least one criterion (along the respective diagram axis). These are marked with the letters A, B and C in Figure 8 and described in Table 4. The local maxima according to the needed energy (B) and system complexity (A) criteria are located close to each other in the solution space and integrate classical mechanical trailing edge morphing near the wing root or the wing tips. Opposed to these, solution C shows the maximum value for flight performance and comes with contour morphing of the leading and trailing edge on the entire wing.
