    摘要: An actuator setup is disclosed which includes a body, at least one control surface located on the body for enabling to control the flow of fluid by moving relative to the body, at least one actuator produced from an electro-active polymer material that is located between the body and the control surface and changes its form depending on electrical energy, thereby triggering the control surface, at least one strengthener located on the actuator, enabling the actuator to change its form, a strengthener located on the actuator so as to be in connection with the body and having a front strengthener and a rear strengthener located on the actuator so as to be oppositely positioned with the front strengthener.

    摘要: An aircraft may include a body structure, a tail section articulatably coupled to the body structure and including a tail structure, a propulsion system coupled to the tail structure and configured to produce thrust for the aircraft, and a stabilizer coupled to the tail structure, and an actuation system configured to articulate the tail section relative to the body structure to change a thrust vector of the propulsion system and an angle of attack of the stabilizer during flight. The actuation system may be configured to articulate the tail section about at least two perpendicular rotational axes. The propulsion system may be configured to produce the thrust in a first thrust direction in a first flight mode (e.g., a rotor-borne flight mode) and to produce the thrust in a second thrust direction in a second flight mode (e.g., a wing-borne flight mode).

    摘要: A wing for an aircraft, including a main wing, a slat, and a connection assembly movably connecting the slat to the main wing, such that the slat is movable between a retracted position and at least one extended position. The connection assembly includes a first connection station and a second connection station spaced apart from the first connection station in a wing span direction. The object, to prevent the slat from skewing, is achieved in that the connection assembly includes a sync shaft coupling the first connection station to the second connection station for sync movement of the first and second connection stations.

    摘要: A brake for preventing rotation of a segment of a transmission line used for actuation of control surfaces of an aircraft, including a retaining arm configured for connection to a fixed element of the aircraft, a clamp and a connection member. The clamp includes a first clamp portion having a first engagement surface and a second clamp portion having a second engagement surface facing the first engagement surface. The clamp portions are movable with respect to each other so as to vary a distance between the engagement surfaces. The clamp portions are configured to apply a pressure toward each other with the transmission line segment being received between the engagement surfaces. The connection member interconnects the clamp and the retaining arm, and is selectively configurable between an unlocked configuration allowing relative movement between the clamp and the retaining arm and a locked configuration preventing the relative movement.
