    摘要: An aircraft 1 comprising a wing 5 having a fixed wing 7 with a wing tip device 9 moveably mounted about a hinge 11 (e.g. a double hinge allowing upward and downward rotation). The aircraft comprises a restraining assembly 17 operable between a restraining mode holding the wing tip device in a flight configuration using a restraining force (e.g. by a brake 19) and a releasing mode wherein the restraining force is released, such that the wing tip device is moved relative to the fixed wing into a load alleviating configuration and the wing load is reduced. The load may be due to a gust or a dive. Preferably a biasing member (e.g. a rotation spring 23) exerts a force to urge the wing tip device towards the load alleviating configuration. A control system may switch operation of the restraining assembly in response to an aircraft angle of attack. The wing tip device may also be operable to a ground configuration wherein the span of the aircraft wing is reduced. The hinge may be orientated perpendicular to swept mean chord axis (13, figure 1b) and hence non-parallel to flight direction.

    摘要: An aircraft including a wing (1) and a wing tip device (6). The wing tip device (6) is moveable between a flight configuration for use during flight and a ground configuration for use during ground-based operations. In the ground configuration the wing tip device is folded inwardly from the flight configuration such that the span of the aircraft is reduced. The wing tip device (6) is connected to the wing along a hinge axis (14) by spar beams (10 and 12) of the wing tip device, one of the beams being mounted for pivoting about a fixed axis and the other beam being mounted on a spherical bearing (15) to provide greater freedom of movement. Various actuator arrangements may be provided to pivot the wing tip device.

    摘要: One example embodiment includes a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The VTOL UAV includes a flight control system configured to provide avionic control of the VTOL UAV in a hover mode and in a level-flight mode. The VTOL UAV also includes a body encapsulating an engine and the flight control system. The VTOL UAV further includes a propeller disk coupled to the engine and configured to provide vertical thrust in the hover mode and to provide horizontal thrust for flight during the level-flight mode.

    摘要: An aircraft wing (1) has a wing tip device (3) joined thereto. The root (7) of the wing tip device (3) is joined to the tip of the wing (1) at a first connection (11). An external strut (9) extends between the wing (1) and the wing tip device (3), the strut (9) being joined to the wing (1) at a second connection (13). The second connection (13) is inboard of the first connection, such that loadings on the wing tip device (3) generated during use, are transferred, via the strut (9), to a location on the wing (1) that is inboard of where the root (7) of the wing tip device (3) is joined to the tip of the wing.

    摘要: Disclosed is an aerodynamic structure for an aircraft, comprising a first region having a first magnetic sealing surface, movably connected to a second region having a second magnetic sealing surface. The structure is moveable between a first configuration in which the first sealing surface contacts the second sealing surface such that the first region and the second region form a continuous aerodynamic surface, and a second configuration in which a gap exists between the first and second magnetic sealing surfaces and. The magnetic sealing surfaces are configured such that an attractive magnetic force exists between the magnetic sealing surfaces in the first configuration. The aerodynamic structure is configured such that during movement between the first and second configurations, relative movement of the first and second regions occurs along a direction at an angle in the range 1-90° to the normal of the first sealing surface and/or the second sealing surface.
