<p>443,516. Controlling aircraft. SHORT BROS. (ROCHESTER & BEDFORD), Ltd., and GOUGE, A., Seaplane Works, Rochester, Kent. Jan. 7, 1935, No. 488. [Class 4] An aircraft wing a, Fig. 2, has its trailing portion separated from the main portion to form a controller section b which is curved to a part cylindrical or part conical formation and is adapted to be projected rearwardly on an arc of a circle so arranged in relation to the wing that the continuity of the upper surface is preserved in all positions of the controller section. The under surface of the wing is curved at a<1> to correspond with the upper surface of the controller. The controller is provided with fore-and-aft rollers b<1>, b<2>, Fig. 3, at each of its ends and these run in slots a<2> in plates a<3> carried by the main part of the wing. Fixed to controller b at each end is a triangular plate b<3> connected by a link b4 to an arm b<5> pivoted at b<6> and adapted to be actuated by hydraulic or other means. In the form described the controller is fitted to a tapered wing and is, therefore, of part conical form extending from the wing root to the aileron. The controllers may be adjusted similarly or differentially and may be divided into sections.</p> |
