DRDO's AMCA Morphing Wing Tech: India's Historic Fighter Jet Leap

• DRDO successfully tested Morphing Wing Technology for India's 5th-gen AMCA fighter jet project.
• This technology allows fighter jets to change wing shape mid-flight, enhancing stealth, maneuverability, and efficiency.
• India joins an elite group, including the US, Europe, and NASA, possessing this advanced shape-shifting wing capability.
• The technology uses Shape Memory Alloy for rapid wing configuration changes (0.17 seconds) with minimal power consumption (5.6% additional energy).
• This breakthrough significantly boosts AMCA's stealth, paves the way for 6th-gen jets, and strengthens India's defense technology.

Why It Matters: DRDO's morphing wing tech puts India among elite nations in advanced fighter jet development.
