AIRCRAFT WITH ENGINE PODS TILTABLE ABOUT A TRANSVERSE AXIS

摘要

The invention concerns an aircraft with engine pods located outboard on the wings and tiltable about a transverse axis. A fixed wing centerpiece is provided which terminates at the outside in each spanwise direction in a separation location. A through tubular spar is rotatably supported in the wing centerpiece. This tubular spar serves as a support for the outer wings which continue beyond the separation locations and which, together with the engine pods located there, form a unit which can be jointly swivelled or tilted.
