ADAPTIVES FLEXIBLES FLÜGEL- UND ROTORSYSTEM

摘要

Variation in the contours of first and second compliant surfaces is produced by a compliant frame having a first resiliently variable frame element ( 120 ) having a corresponding first outer surface ( 122 ) and a first inner surface ( 124 ), and a second resiliently variable frame element ( 130 ) having a corresponding second outer surface ( 132 ) and a second inner surface ( 134 ). The first and second outer surfaces ( 122, 132 ) communicate with respective ones of the first and second compliant surfaces. A linkage element ( 141 - 144 ) having a predetermined resilience characteristic is coupled at a first end thereof to the first inner surface ( 124 ) and at a second end thereof to the second inner surface ( 134 ). A frame coupler ( 151 ) couples the first resiliently variable frame element ( 120 ) to a support element ( 150 ). An actuator ( 106 ) applies a force to the second resiliently variable frame element ( 130 ) with respect to the support element (150), resulting in a corresponding variation in the contour of the first and second compliant surfaces.
