Variable-thickness wing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of deformed wings, in particular to a variable-thickness wing.
Background
Wings are the primary components of an aircraft that generate lift, and the size and shape of the wings have a significant impact on the aerodynamic condition and handling of the aircraft. In most cases, the combination of ailerons, elevators and rudders is the entire control surface required for a low power aircraft. However, with the development of aeronautics, new types of wings with flaps and slats added are developed, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft are affected by the auxiliary control surfaces on these wings by changing the shape of the wings. The variable-thickness wing changes the section shape of the wing profile of the wing by a driving mechanism built in the cabin on the basis of using the trailing edge flap so as to achieve the aim of changing the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft. The design enables the wing to change in thickness and shape without the aid of a leading edge slat, and the wing surface remains smooth during deformation, so that aerodynamic interference caused by deformation is reduced. However, the existing design structure is too complex, the control precision is low, and the popularization and the use are difficult.
