RUDDER BLADE WITH A MODULAR STRUCTURE, SEGMENT FOR A RUDDER BLADE OR FOR AN APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING PROPULSION AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A RUDDER BLADE

摘要

In order to provide a rudder blade, which has a low level of weight, is easierand moreinexpensive to manufacture, that meets the various strength and stabilityrequirements forvarious rudder-blade sections, which can be at least partly manufactured in anautomated mannerand for which the manufacturing of irregular surfaces, in particular, theleading edge, is madeeasier, a rudder blade is proposed, which has a modular structure, wherein therudder bladecomprises at least two prefabricated rudder-blade segments and is composed ofthe at least twoprefabricated rudder-blade segments.
