摘要： A control system for a moveable control surface on a wing or stabilizer of an aircraft, for example a flying car, comprising: a wing or stabilizer having a moveable control surface (20, 22); a mounting structure (30) for mounting the wing or stabilizer on the body of an aircraft; a hinge connection (32) between the wing or stabilizer and the mounting structure, to allow the wing or stabilizer to be moved between extended and folded positions; and a control shaft mounted on the mounting structure and extending into the wing or stabilizer, the control shaft being configured to rotate under the influence of a control input so as to move the control surface on the wing or stabilizer; wherein the control shaft comprises separable first (36) and second shaft parts (44), the first part being mounted on the mounting structure, and the second part being mounted on the wing or stabilizer, the first shaft part having a peg (38) with a non-cylindrical outer surface, and the second shaft part defining a bore (46) with a non-cylindrical inner surface, such that, when the wing or stabilizer is in the extended position, the peg is engaged in the bore so as to prevent relative rotation of the first and second shaft parts; the system further comprising a resiliently-biased locking pin (62) mounted on the wing, the locking pin having a non-cylindrical outer surface, wherein the locking pin is configured such that it is biased into the bore when the peg on the first shaft part is withdrawn from the bore so as to lock the second shaft part against rotation and prevent movement of the control surface.

摘要： A wing and flap system for an aircraft comprising: a wing (16); and a deployable flap (30) connected to the wing, the flap being moveable between a first position in which a trailing edge portion of the wing substantially overlaps the flap and the angle of incidence of the flap is substantially the same as the angle of incidence of the wing, and a second position in which the trailing edge (33) of the flap is behind the trailing edge (34) of the wing and the angle of incidence of the flap is greater than that of the wing, and an intermediate position between the first and second positions, in which the trailing edge of the flap is behind the trailing edge of the wing and the angle of incidence of the flap is substantially the same as that of the wing; and further comprising a flap operating mechanism for moving the flap between the first, second, and intermediate positions, comprising: a driven toothed pinion (52) mounted in the wing; and first (36) and second (38) struts, each substantially aligned with a plane including a chord of the wing and extending between the pinion and the flap, each strut having a toothed rack (40, 42) engaged with the toothed pinion such that operation of the pinion moves each strut in a direction substantially aligned with a plane including a chord of the wing, the first strut being connected to the flap relatively closer to the leading edge thereof, and the second strut being connected to the flap relatively closer to the trailing edge thereof. The system can be used in a flying car having foldable wings.

摘要： A vehicle having a first configuration for road use and a second configuration for air use, comprising: road wheels; a traction drive propulsion unit for driving road wheels when in contact with the ground; a thrust propulsion unit for driving a propeller to drive the vehicle through the air; and wherein, when the vehicle is configurable into any of: the first configuration, in which the traction drive propulsion unit is engaged to drive the road wheels on the ground, and the thrust propulsion unit is disengaged from the propeller; the second configuration, in which the traction drive propulsion unit is disengaged such that no drive is provided to the road wheels, and the thrust propulsion unit is engaged with the propeller to drive the vehicle thorough the air; or an intermediate configuration in which the traction drive propulsion unit is engaged to drive the road wheels on the ground, and the thrust propulsion unit is engaged with the propeller to drive the vehicle through the air. A method of operating the vehicle comprises: placing the vehicle in the intermediate configuration with the road wheels in contact with the ground; operating the thrust propulsion unit to drive the propeller, and simultaneously operating the traction drive propulsion unit to drive the wheels, so as to accelerate the vehicle to a predetermined airspeed; and disengaging the traction drive propulsion unit such that no drive is provided to the road wheels, and the propeller drives the vehicle thorough the air.

摘要： An aircraft including a body and a pair of wings connected to the body by a mounting structure, the wings being movable between a first position in which the wings extend laterally from the body, and a second position in which the wings extend along the body from the mounting structure; wherein when the wings are in the second position, at least part of a first wing overlaps at least part of the second wing. The aircraft can comprise a convertible vehicle having a flight configuration and a road use configuration, the wings being positioned in the first position for flight configuration and in the second position for road use configuration; wherein the vehicle further comprises road wheels, wherein the road wheels are moveable between an extended position for use when the vehicle is in the road use configuration, and a retracted position for use when the vehicle is in the flight configuration. A method of operating the aircraft comprises placing the aircraft in transition configuration flight configuration with the wings in the first position; and moving the wings into the second position.

摘要： A control system for use in a vehicle configurable for air use or road use, the vehicle comprising moveable control surfaces for controlling operation of the vehicle in air use, wherein the system comprises: a pedal arrangement of three pedals, comprising a central brake pedal (34) and first and second side pedals, one on either side of the brake pedal, the pedal arrangement having a first configuration for use when the vehicle is configured for road use, and a second configuration for use when the vehicle is configured for air use; wherein in the first configuration, the first (right) side pedal (36) is configured to act as a throttle control; and in the second configuration, the first and second pedals (36, 38) are connected to the moveable control surfaces. A vehicle configurable for air or road use incorporating the control system comprises: a body having road wheels for supporting the body when configured for road use; wings connected to the body and deployable for air use; a tail section at the rear of the body; moveable control surfaces for controlling operation of the vehicle in air use.
