The concept is based on morphing wing structures that adjust their geometry in response to changing flight phases. These adaptive surfaces are intended to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve lift efficiency compared to conventional fixed-geometry wings. Both sets of wings used in the project are manufactured entirely from fibre-reinforced composite materials, enabling the flexibility, lightweight performance, and structural integration required for controlled shape adaptation during flight.

As explained by Radestock, the HyTEM concept replaces conventional flaps and ailerons with an intelligent system consisting of multiple small actuators distributed across the wingspan. The system enables precise adjustment of wing profiles at 10 separate points without gaps between sections, creating a continuous aerodynamic surface that reduces profile drag while improving lift distribution and flight control performance.
