The paper deals with the application of the concept of mechatronic stiffness for the design of a mechanism of aircraft wing that is capable to provide both morphing of aircraft wing profile and its aeroelastic control. It requires the wing structure to have both low stiffness for morphing with small forces and high dynamic stiffness with good aeroelastic properties. Such different demands can be satisfied by mechatronic stiffness. The development of mechanism for aircraft wing morphing and its aeroelastic control is briefly described. However, the optimal choice of stiffness of auxiliary construction and its possible deformation is formulated and solved. The optimal stiffness of auxiliary structure of mechatronic stiffness as the key result of the paper is described.
