Double swing wing self-erecting missile wing structure - Patent 4667899 Wing 11 includes means for containing secondary wing surface 16 within it during storage of the wing in the retracted position, and means are included for automatically deploying the wing. A self-erecting wing structure for increased missile performance and maneuverability without significant sacrifice of payload space includes a wing pivotally attached to an air frame in a retracted position in which the wing is both rotated about its spanwise axis relative to an erected position and pivoted forward alongside the air frame. The wing is suitably shaped and dimensioned with this hollow interior to serve the function of containing the secondary wing surface. www.freepatentsonline.com /4667899.html   (2576 words)

Swing wing glider - Patent 4605183 The swing wing glider 10a has upper and lower wings 12a and 14a, respectively, that are pivoted together by a loose pivot 16a consisting of a U-shaped fastener 108 that serves as a rivet. Third, this tapered wing plan form with decreasing chord length toward the wing tips minimizes outboard inertial mass of the wings that might otherwise tend to cause the wings to swing outwardly after launch beyond the optimum wing extension for the particular launch flight velocity, possibly even causing the glider 10 to stall. Nevertheless, the plan forms of the wings of glider 10b are such that there is no sacrifice in the lengths of the straight inner edges 18b of the wings 12b and 14b, so that the same geometrical stability between the wings in flight is achieved in the glider 10b as in the glider 10. www.freepatentsonline.com /4605183.html   (11015 words)

Sukhoi Su-17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Studies by the Soviet aerodynamics center, TsAGI, had suggested the advantages of a swing-wing configuration. Aside from making it easier to adapt the wing to an existing fuselage design, it allowed the main landing gear to be wing-mounted, giving a wider track, and enabled stores pylons to be mounted on the fixed portion of the wing, rather than requiring the complexity of a pivoting pylon. The variable geometry wing could be spread wide for improved low-speed and cruise efficiency or swept back for high-speed performance. www.pineville.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Sukhoi_Su-22   (1449 words)

Switchblade When the wings are swept fully forward, the trailing edge of the wing becomes the leading edge, and the aircraft turns into a delta shape perfect for dashing away at speeds up to Mach 3. In the unswept position the wing is approximately orthogonal to a fuselage centerline, while in the full-forward sweep position the wing has approximately a delta wing planform[platform]. When the wings are fully extended, the plane can fly slowly to drop bombs precisely on their targets or land on short runways. www.area51zone.com /aircraft/switchblade.shtml   (704 words)

Wills Wing, Inc. - mistral3 Information Page Swing has designed the Mistral series as a response to what most paraglider pilots are looking for: a wing that bridges the gap between beginner and intermediate gliders. Swing paragliders' cell wall material is extremely resistant to stretching and as a consequence guarantees long term maintenance of the wing's profile. The wings are made with the silicone layer on the inside, since silicone coatings on the outside of the wing attract dust quite readily. www.willswing.com /prod2.asp?theClass=pg&theModel=mistral3   (1263 words)

Forward-Swept Wings But for a period, variable-sweep wings were in vogue and more than a half dozen major military aircraft were designed with variable sweep wings during the 1960s and 1970s, with the number of swing-wing aircraft numbering in the thousands. Straight wings were clearly advantageous for short takeoffs and landings, low speed, and fuel-efficient flight, but swept wings were ideal for high-speed, particularly supersonic, flight. The swept-back wing used for the B-47 and common to many aircraft that followed demonstrated that airplanes could use wing designs other than the straight wing to achieve certain performance goals. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Evolution_of_Technology/variable_sweep_wings/Tech11.htm   (1838 words)

NASA Dryden AD-1 Oblique Wing Photo Collection The oblique wing on the AD-1 pivoted about the fuselage, remaining perpendicular to it during slow flight and swinging to angles of up to 60 degrees as aircraft speed increased. Variable-sweep wings allow an aircraft to take advantage of the lift and handling qualities of a straight wing during the comparatively slow flight of takeoffs and landings, and the reduced drag and the better efficiency of swept-back wings during high speeds and cruise speeds. The oblique wing could be rotated on its center pivot so that it could be set at its most efficient angle for the speed at which the airplane was flying. www1.dfrc.nasa.gov /gallery/photo/AD-1   (347 words)

National Association of Rocketry Rocket Glider Plans The XP-2 swing wing rocket glider was presented by its inventor, Al Nienast, in the January 1980 issue of the Model Rocketeer. The chief advantage of the swing wing is low profile drag on boost, and a increased wing area for glide. This version of the XP-2 swing wing rocket glider was modified by Chris King for the B Rocket Glide event. www.nar.org /Competition/plans/rocketglide.html   (511 words)

Flight Journal: Swing-wing design The long wing that lets a pilot pull inside his opponent in a sub/transonic dogfight and that gives long loiter times and low landing speeds is also a slow wing. German engineers first employed the swept wing, which delayed and moderated transonic buffet, hick-under, control reversals and other facets of wing-flow breakdown that were plaguing even the propeller-driven fighters of the day. The driving fat tors behind the search for a workable variable-sweep wing were integral parts of the fighter pilot's wish list: the simultaneous achievement of low landing speeds, good cruise and loiter performance (which require lower sweep angles) and high supersonic Match numbers. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3897/is_199806/ai_n8797861   (1382 words)

Just Swingin'... The sides of the truss swing up and are pinned in place, creating a workplace for those who might need to be up on the truss once it's flown in the air. The Swing Wing also went out with the NASART show in Huntsville, AL, through Theatrical Lighting Systems (TLS), and is scheduled to be part of the Stand Up 2002 Christian Youth Revival in Indianapolis. “While working with Hubbell Entertainment on a swing wing design, we determined that the swing wing concept in a truss suitable for the industry's larger fixtures would dramatically change the nature of load-ins and load-outs,” explains Tomcat marketing director Carrie Robertson. lightingdimensions.com /mag/lighting_swingin/index.html   (638 words)

The Scotsman - Sport - Swing Wing worth the wait After an itinerary like that, Swing Wing might feel he’s slumming it a little this afternoon when he appears in the Chester Cup, but the Roodee is a charming course in its own right and with a first prize of just short of £70,000 available in the totesport-sponsored marathon, there are other compensations. By all accounts, he’s an individual who likes things to go his way, so Swing Wing is set for a rare old battle of wills with jockey Kieren Fallon who takes the mount for the first time and may have other ideas about that.

These craft have their wings projecting nearly at right angles for takeoff and landing and low-speed flight, and swung back for high-speed flight. www.tiscali.co.uk /reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0006262.html   (154 words)

Supersonic Flow As long as the wing is swept back behind the Mach cone, there is subsonic flow over most of the wing and relatively low drag. A delta wing has the advantage of a large sweep angle but also greater wing area than a simple swept wing to compensate for the loss of lift usually experienced in sweepback. delta wing has the advantage of a large sweep angle but also greater wing area than a simple swept wing to compensate for the loss of lift usually experienced in sweepback. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Theories_of_Flight/supersonic_flow/TH22.htm   (1485 words)

SWING-WING: A History of Variable-Geometry Aircraft - Tu-22M/26 About half the gross wing area was fixed, just the outer portions swinging through a modest arc. Owing to the obvious inability of the Tu-22 to fly strategic missions the Tupolev bureau designed this far more formidable aircraft, larger in size and fitted with a swing-wing. The large engines are fed through wide inlet ducts which probably pass above the wing; a flight refuelling probe is fitted above the nose, but even without this "Backfire B" has an endurance of some ten hours. home.earthlink.net /~p51ace/SwingWing/tu22m.html   (532 words)

Ron_Collins_F14_Swing_Wing_ - RC Groups The main wings are completey clean without any flaps or spoilers again reinforcing the philosophy of "keep it simple." Now Ron has resolved all the little trim and teething troubles, he expresses his delight with the models performance. As you will see from the photograph each wing panel is rotated through a direct drive from an extended servo output arm via a simple pushrod linked straight onto a ball joint on the most forward position of the root of the wing. This equates to a wing loading of 26oz a sq ft but with an Eppler 193 Aerofoil section at 12% thickness and 5% camber provides sufficient lift from the swept forward wings to enable the F14 to fly in relatively light lift. www.rcgroups.com /forums/showthread.php?t=297107   (1090 words)
