摘要:
Aerodynamic seals for use with control surfaces on aircraft are described herein. In one embodiment, a seal assembly for use with an aircraft includes a first seal member and a second seal member. The first seal member has a first proximal portion configured to be attached to a fixed airfoil portion of the aircraft, and a first distal portion configured to extend outwardly from the fixed airfoil portion toward a movable control surface. The second seal member has a second proximal portion configured to be attached to the movable control surface, and a second distal portion configured to extend outwardly from the control surface toward the fixed airfoil portion. In this embodiment, the second distal portion is further configured to movably contact the first distal portion to at least partially seal the gap between the fixed airfoil portion and the movable control surface as the control surface moves relative to the fixed airfoil portion.

A high lift system (2) for an aircraft comprises a wing structure (4) and a leading edge slat (6) movably supported relative to a leading edge of the wing structure (4), the leading edge slat (6) comprises a leading edge (14) and a trailing edge (16), wherein the trailing edge (16) is configured to take different positions to form a gap between the leading edge slat (6) and the wing structure (4), a skin (8) and enclosing an interior space (18) of the leading edge slat (6), the skin (8) having a flexible leading skin (10) section facing away from the wing structure (4), a flexible trailing skin section (12) facing towards the wing structure (4), at least one actuation arrangement (20) arranged inside the interior space (18) for selectively introducing a normal force onto at least one of the leading skin section (10) and the trailing skin section (12), wherein said normal force changes the profile of the skin (8) in such a way that the trailing edge (16) changes its position relative to the wing structure (4) to selectively close or open the gap between the leading edge slat (6) and the wing structure (4). This provides a mechanical actuation concept to achieve an active gap control through structural morphing of a slat body.

An aircraft wing (2) has a fixed wing portion (2a) and a trailing edge flap (3b) movable with respect to the fixed wing portion to define a gap (g) between the fixed wing and the flap. A seal assembly (8) for sealing the gap has a first rigid seal member (8a) fixed to the fixed wing portion and a second resilient seal member (8b) fixed to an upper surface leading edge (15) portion of the flap. The trailing edge flap is deployable between a first flap position in which the trailing edge flap conforms to a profile of the fixed wing portion, a second flap position in which the trailing edge flap is deflected upwardly from the first flap position, and a third flap position in which the trailing edge flap is deflected downwardly from the first flap position. In the first flap position the first seal member contacts the second seal member to at least partially seal the gap, and in the second flap position the first seal member presses against the second seal member and deflects the second seal member to at least partially seal the gap.

A rotary actuated high lift gapped aileron linkage (304) is presented. A high lift gapped aileron (306) couples to an airfoil at a hinge line (418) and changes a camber of the airfoil. A rotary actuator (312) coupled to the high lift gapped aileron produces a rotary motion of the high lift gapped aileron in response to an actuation command. A droop panel (308) positioned over the hinge line enhances lift of the high lift gapped aileron. A cove lip door (310) positioned under the hinge line provides an airflow over the high lift gapped aileron. The deployment linkage mechanism coupled to the high lift gapped aileron positions the droop panel and the cove lip door in response to the rotary motion.

A high-lift device (3) comprises a flap body (11) which is provided at a rear portion of a main wing (2) which generates a lift for the air vehicle such that the flap body is deployed with respect to the main wing and stowed in the main wing and extends along a wingspan direction of the main wing (2); and a gap increasing section (20, 30) provided at an end portion (11a) of the flap body (11) in an extending direction of the flap body, to increase a gap between the rear portion of the main wing (2) and a front portion of the flap body (11) in a state in which the flap body is deployed.

An aircraft flap system and an associated method are provided to facilitate ground roll breaking without compromising in-flight performance. The aircraft flap system includes a first flap (12) and a panel (14) pivotally attached to the first flap, such as to a rearward portion of the first flap (12). The aircraft flap system also includes an actuator (15) configured to controllably position the panel in a stowed position and in a deployed position. In the stowed position, the panel serves as a continuation of the first flap (12), thereby contributing to the lift provided by the first flap during flight. Conversely, in the deployed position, a panel is articulated relative to the first flap (12), thereby reducing or eliminating the lift otherwise provided by the flap, following landing of the aircraft.

An aircraft wing assembly, comprising: a fixed wing portion; a first flight control surface; a first actuator operatively coupled to the first flight control surface for moving the first flight control surface with respect to the fixed wing portion; a second flight control surface disposed adjacent the first flight control surface; a second actuator operatively coupled to the second flight control surface for moving the second flight control surface with respect to the fixed wing portion; a control system operatively coupled to the first and second actuators for controlling movement of the first and second flight control surfaces; and a third actuator selectively engaged with the second flight control surface for engaging and moving the second flight control surface out of a path of movement of the first flight control surface only in the event of a failure in the second actuator or its control, so as to avoid direct contact between the first and second flight control surfaces. Also, a method of operating an aircraft wing assembly.

The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the lift characteristics of an aircraft with a high lift device (2) that is movably attachable to a wing element (1) and that comprises at least one slot covering device (3; 4), wherein the at least one slot covering device (3; 4), is movably attachable to the wing element (1). The slot covering device (3; 4) is designed to regulate the size of a slot (7) between the wing element (1) and the high lift device (2).

The present invention provides high-lift devices, wings, and noise reduction structures for the high-lift devices capable of suppressing the occurrence of aerodynamic noise while restricting an increase in airframe weight. A high-lift device includes: a slat main body (4) that is disposed so as to be able to extend from and retract into a main wing; a concave part (5) that is formed on the slat main body (4) at a location that faces the main wing, so as to be able to accommodate at least a part of a leading edge of the main wing; and an airflow control part (6) that is disposed at an area in the concave part (5) facing an upper surface of the main wing, that is accommodated between the main wing and the concave part when the slat main body (4) is retracted into the main wing, and that suppresses turbulence colliding against the area in the concave part (5) facing the upper surface of the main wing when the slat main body (4) is extended from the main wing.
