摘要： A flex wing apparatus comprising a support, a mast coupled to the support and a sail. Battens are carried by the sail, and couplings join the leading edge of the battens to the mast so that the sail and battens can pivot about the mast. The battens can be resiliently deformed varying magnitudes to induce the desired chamber into the battens and the sail.

摘要： A tensioner for drawing a point on a flexible wing's surface toward its leading edge. The wing's camber is thereby increased and maintained even at high airflow velocities and low angles of attack. The provision of a tensioner length adjustment system allows the wing's camber to be optimized for a particular set of conditions. The fitment of a plurality of such tensioners along the wing's chordlines and along its span allows the wing's shape to be fine-tuned both in terms of camber as well as twist.

摘要： Flex wing apparatus is disclosed comprising a mast and a sail, the sail having a luff sleeve which receives the mast. Battens in the sail are supported with respect to the mast by means of couplings which prevent the movement of the leading end of the battens against or around the mast, but permit the batten ends to move laterally to either side of the mast as the apparatus switches from one tack to the other. This is accomplished by the use of couplings each having a collar and a leg, and in which the leg is permitted to rotate relative to the collar simultaneously with the collar rotating relative to the mast. Such counter-rotation enables the leading extremity of each batten to move from one side of the mast to the other in a controlled fashion and to engage and support the luff sleeve on the leeward side of the sail on either tack.

摘要： A flex wing apparatus comprising a support, a mast coupled to the support and a sail. Battens are carried by the sail, and a coupling arrangement joins the leading edge of the battens to the mast so that the sail and battens can pivot about the mast. The battens can be resiliently deformed varying magnitudes to induce the desired camber into the battens and the sail. The coupling arrangement includes couplings each of which includes a collar and a pair of resilient legs.
