MOVABLE FLOW BODY HAVING A HYBRID LOAD INTRODUCTION RIB - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519459 titled 'MOVABLE FLOW BODY HAVING A HYBRID LOAD INTRODUCTION RIB

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a movable flow body for an aircraft with a front skin that has an outer surface for contact with an ambient flow and an inner surface. The body includes load introduction ribs with coupling elements on the drive side for connection to a drive mechanism, and interface elements attached to the front skin interface side, bonded to the inner surface of the front skin.

  • The movable flow body for an aircraft includes:
    • Front skin with outer and inner surfaces
    • Load introduction ribs with coupling elements
    • Interface elements bonded to the inner surface of the front skin

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in the aerospace industry for aircraft design and development, specifically in improving aerodynamic performance and control systems.

Problems Solved

1. Enhanced aerodynamic performance 2. Improved control mechanisms for aircraft

Benefits

1. Increased efficiency in airflow management 2. Enhanced maneuverability and control of the aircraft

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing aircraft design for better performance and control systems in commercial aviation.

Original Abstract Submitted

A movable flow body for an aircraft including a front skin having an outer surface configured to be contacted by an ambient flow, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, at least one load introduction rib having a skin interface side and a drive side, at least one coupling element arranged on the drive side for coupling with a drive mechanism, and at least one interface element removably attached to the front skin interface side. The at least one interface element includes a bonding surface having a shape corresponding to the shape of the inner surface of the front skin. The at least one interface element is materially bonded to the inner surface of the front skin.
