AIRCRAFT WING WITH AN ADAPTIVE SHOCK CONTROL BUMP

摘要

An aircraft wing has an upper surface element and a first actuator powered mechanism for varying the shape of the surface element which includes: an upstream segment SEG₁, a downstream segment SEG₂, an interconnecting segment SEG₃ interconnecting a downstream edge of SEG₁ with an upstream edge of SEG₂, wherein the interconnecting segment SEG₃ extends along the whole or at least a major part of the downstream edge of SEG₁ and the whole or at least a major part of the upstream edge of SEG₂, and a link element LNK interconnecting an upstream edge of SEG₁ with an upper surface of the aircraft wing, and the first mechanism interconnecting a contact C1 on a lower side of the upper surface element with a contact C2 on an inner structure of the airfoil. The first mechanism controls the shape of the upper surface element by controlling the distance between C1 and C2.
