This contribution presents the modeling and the motion planning of a flexible interconnected beam structure representing a wingsail. The structure is equipped with spatially distributed embedded actuators. The solution of the motion planning provides a feedforward control law to realize a desired spatial‐temporal out‐of‐plane deflection trajectory. For this, a systematic flatness‐based methodology is proposed, that allows for an efficient numerical solution exploiting, e.g., finite element approximations. (© 2014 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
