    摘要: A submersible vessel having wing and keel assemblies that are extendable for wind-powered surface operation and retractable to reduce drag for submerged operation or to place the vessel in a more compact configuration. A deployment mechanism including an actuator and linkage pivots the wing and keel assemblies-simultaneously between the deployed and retracted configuration. The vessel may have first and second pressure hulls flanking the wing and keel assemblies. A drive mechanism including a motor and a gear train employing pulley-and-cable assemblies rotates either the wing and flap together such that the flap angle relative to the wing is constant, or to change the flap angle relative to the wing with the wing angle of incidence held constant. The invention also provides a retractable wind-powered propulsion apparatus that is mountable to the hull assembly of a submersible or non-submersible vessel.

    摘要: A ship's hull is provided where a substantial portion of the ship's hull, above its waterline, is designed essentially as a section of an aerofoil of the NACA foil type which is symmetrical to the centre line (S) of the ship's hull and where the leading edge (3) of the aerofoil section (2) is facing in the direction of the front of the ship (1), in order, with relative wind, to generate an aerodynamic lift that produces propulsion for the ship (1) within an angular sector of the ship's (1) course or direction of propulsion, the aerodynamic lift being balanced out by a hydrodynamic lift generated below the waterline. Also provided is a ship (1) including the aforementioned ship's hull.

    摘要: A rigging for a wing propelled craft comprises a mast having a starboard side and a port side, wherein the mast is controllably rotatable in either direction about a longitudinal axis; a flexible sail comprising a starboard flexible sail portion and a substantially identical port flexible sail portion, each flexible sail portion having a luff and a leach, wherein the luff of each sail portion is connected to a respective side of the mast; and a plurality of elongated battens, each of which extends substantially between the luff and the leach of one of the respective sail portions, each of which is in contact with the respective flexible sail portion. Rotation of the mast causes the battens connected to one of the sail portions to be compressed along their length so as to bend one of the sail portions to increase the camber thereof and causes the battens connected of the other sail portions to be tensioned along their length so as to partly straighten the other sail portion which changes the shape of an aerofoil formed by the sail.

    摘要: A flexible wing-sail (4) for wind-propelled vehicles includes a mast (3) to be rotatably mounted in a vertical position on the vehicle, a plurality of flexible sail panels (26, 27, 28) carried by the mast, and a spreader assembly (20) secured to battens (21) in the sail panels for securing them to the mast and for imparting to them an airfoil shape having a leading edge fore of the mast, and a trailing edge aft of the mast. The spreader assembly includes a fixed spreader unit secured to the sail panels at the bottom of the wing-sail and fixing it to the bottom of the mast, and a plurality of slidable spreader units secured to the sail panels at longitudinally spaced locations and slidable along the mast to permit hoisting and reefing the wing-sail.
