Aerodynamic steering and stabilising system for vessels

摘要

Use is made of adjustable surfaces such as wings or flaps (24) which are continuously adjusted. Sensors (27-30) register the position and movements of the vessel. The output of the sensors and input from the driver are fed to a control processor (26) which controls movements of the actuator operated control surfaces according to a programmable law. Additional control surfaces can be mounted at the front of the vessel in front of its centre of gravity. The vessel can also have control surfaces at both the leading and trailing edges of wings.
