    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a structural component of an aircraft wing body and an aircraft including the structural component. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a structural component of an aircraft wing body is provided. The structural component includes a body part and a profile. The body part includes an edge portion formed by end portions of a first skin and a second skin of the body part superposed together. The profile is attached to the edge portion. The profile has an outer profile conforming to an outer profile of the body part such that the structural component, as a whole, exhibits an aerodynamic outer profile after the profile is attached to the edge portion. The profile is attached to the edge portion via a plurality of separate intermediate members or by contacting the edge portion.

    摘要: A tail boom having a structure and a protuberance, the protuberance being secure with the structure. In each section of the tail boom, the protuberance extends in elevation over an extension height (Hext) and it extends laterally over an extension thickness (EPext), the extension height (Hext) lying in the range 0.05 times the maximum thickness (EPmax) of the structure, included, to 0.5 times the maximum thickness (EPmax), included, of the section, the extension thickness (EPext) lying in the range 0 to 0.4 times the maximum thickness (EPmax), included, of the section.

    摘要: A vortex generator arrangement for an aircraft comprising a surface section forming a flow surface interacting with a flow surrounding the aircraft in operation, wherein the surface section comprises an opening, a vortex generator movable between a retracted position and an extended position, a retainer for holding the vortex generator in the retracted position, a biasing structure for biasing the vortex generator towards the extended position and a release for releasing the vortex generator from the retainer such that the vortex generator can be moved towards the extended position. Further, a sealing membrane is provided completely sealing the opening when the vortex generator is in the retracted position. The vortex generator is movable through the membrane from the retracted position to the extended position. Furthermore, a flow control system, an aircraft and a method of controlling flow are described and claimed.
