20160031546 | LIFT-REDUCING APPARATUS FOR AIRCRAFT WINGS - Modern aircraft wings generally have a lower surface the rear part of which is concave over at least some of its length, for additional lift. Sometimes it is desirable to reduce the wing lift, for instance during turbulence. To this end the wing | 02-04-2016 |
20150191244 | AIRCRAFT WING WITH SYSTEM ESTABLISHING A LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW - For establishment of a laminar attachment line flow, an aircraft wing includes a leading edge including an attachment line, where air impinging on the region flows in a boundary layer spanwise along the leading edge. The leading edge and the attachment line are at least partially formed at first and second slats. The second slat is located adjacent to the first slat in the downstream direction of the attachment line flow, so that the leading edge includes a slat-to-slat junction, where a slat cavity is formed. A duct has a duct entrance at the slat-to-slat junction for receiving spanwise flow along the leading edge of the wing. The duct entrance extends around the leading edge and over the range of positions of the attachment line at the slat-to-slat junction. | 07-09-2015 |
