Abstract: Methods are provided for operating an air vehicle having fixed wings. Such methods include the step of providing an operating map of angle of attack associated with the fixed wings with Reynolds number, including conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings and conditions of attached flow over the fixed wings. Such methods also include the step of using the operating map for guidance, causing the air vehicle to operate at least within a low Reynolds numbers range corresponding to the operating map, such as to avoid or minimize risk of causing the air vehicle to operate at conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings.

Abstract: Methods are provided for operating an air vehicle, the air vehicle including fixed wings configured to provide mild stall characteristics including a post-stall regime, and a propulsion system capable of generating a controllable thrust, the thrust being variable at least between an idle thrust and a maximum thrust. During a landing maneuver, the air vehicle is caused to attain an angle of attack corresponding to said post-stall regime, and during the landing maneuver, there is concurrently generated a thrust level of said thrust greater than said idle thrust to provide a thrust vector having a thrust lift force component at landing. Corresponding control systems are also provided, and air vehicles including such control systems are also provided.

Abstract: A wing system is provided for an air vehicle, the air vehicle having a fuselage including a fuselage longitudinal axis. The wing system includes a set of wings, configured for transitioning between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The set of wings includes a first said wing having a first wing tip, a first wing longitudinal axis, and a first pivot axis; and a second said wing having a second wing tip, a second wing longitudinal axis, and a second pivot axis. The first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are non-coaxial. In the stowed configuration, the first wing and the second wing are in overlying relationship such that at least a majority of a pressure surface of one wing is facing a suction surface of the other wing, and the first wing tip is spaced from the second wing tip by a first lateral spacing. In the deployed configuration, the first wing is oriented with respect to the second wing such that the first wing tip is spaced from the second wing tip by a second lateral spacing greater than the first lateral spacing. The transitioning includes a pivoting operation, including: pivoting the first wing about the first pivot axis between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration; and, pivoting the second wing about the second pivot axis between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration.

Abstract: A wing system is provided for an air vehicle, the wing system having a stowed configuration, a pre-deployed configuration, and a deployed configuration. The wing system includes two wings, each wing having aerofoil profiles and being pivotably deployable about a respective pivot axis between the pre-deployed configuration and the deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration the two wings are in first general superposed spatial relationship with respect to one another and are capable of being accommodated within an envelope having an envelope cross-sectional profile and a corresponding envelope cross-sectional area. In the pre-deployed configuration, the two wings are in second general superposed spatial relationship with respect to one another and capable of deploying to the deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration the wings are each capable of generating aerodynamic lift in an airstream. Each aerofoil profile of each wing is a slotted aerofoil having a primary element, a secondary element and a chord, the secondary element being pivotable with respect to the primary element and spaced therefrom by a gap. Each aerofoil profile has a respective maximum thickness, and a respective maximum absolute thickness. In the stowed configuration, the respective second element of eachaerofoil of one wing is set at a different flap angle as compared with the respective second element of each aerofoil of the other wing.
