	%X An investigation of adaptable winglets for enhancing
morphing aircraft performance is described in this paper. The
concepts investigated consist of various winglet configurations
fundamentally centered on a baseline swept wing. The impetus for
the work was to identify and optimize winglets to enhance the
aerodynamic efficiency of a morphing aircraft. All computations
were performed with Athena Vortex Lattice modelling with varying
degrees of twist and cant angle considered. The results from this
work indicate that if adaptable winglets were employed on aircraft’s
improvements in aircraft performance could be achieved.
