DEPLOYABLE WING

摘要

The deployable wing (1) of the present invention comprises an internal structure having diverging leading edge spars (7) attached to a keel spar (11) and cross spars (9) to form a delta wing configuration. This internal structure is enclosed within a volume defined by a fabric sail having an upper section (3a), a lower section (3b), and fabric ribs (5) disposed therebetween. This fabric sail volume is internally pressurized through a ram air intake (15) at the nose stagnation point. This deployable wing can be folded and deployed in the air.
