Abstract
The paper examines the conditions of using shape memory materials (SMART‑materials) in the design of aircraft with the aim of improving their aerodynamic and operational characteristics.
 The most likely application of SMART materials for local changes in the geometry of aircraft units that are not responsible for the strength and resource of the structure the aircraft. But such aircraft units are capable of improving the characteristics of the aircraft if it’s necessary.
 In view of the existing arsenal of technical means used in the practice of aircraft construction to improve flight characteristics, in the article are presented the most acceptable options for the use of SMART materials, namely: vortex generators, Henri flaps and adaptive wing tip.
