摘要： An extendable wing system for a fluid-born body has a forward wing and an aft wing pivotably coupled together at a location outward of their wing roots. A linkage mechanism mounted on the body provides both pivoting of the wing roots about a pivot point and translation of the wing roots and their pivot points to extend the joined wings from a stowed position to a deployed position. Translation of the forward wing root pivot point allows the stowed wing system to occupy additional space toward the nose of the body, thereby allowing use of wings having a longer wingspan and greater aspect ratio. The linkage mechanism can also be used to incorporate flight control, such as roll and pitch control, directly into the wing system. In another embodiment, the wings can incorporate actuator elements on or within the wings to effect flight control by deformation of the wing structure.

摘要翻译： 用于流体出身体的可延伸的翼系统具有前翼和后翼，它们在其翼根的外侧的位置处可枢转地联接在一起。 安装在主体上的连杆机构提供了机翼根部围绕枢轴点的枢转以及机翼根部及其枢转点的平移，以将结合的机翼从收起位置延伸到展开位置。 前翼根枢轴点的翻译允许收起的翼系统占据身体鼻部的额外空间，从而允许使用具有较长翼展和更大纵横比的翼。 连杆机构也可用于将飞行控制，如滚转和俯仰控制，直接融入机翼系统。 在另一个实施例中，翼可以将致动器元件结合在翼上或翅膀内，以通过翼结构的变形来实现飞行控制。
