MEHRGLIEDRIGER FLUEGEL INSBESONDERE ALS SCHIFFSSEGEL

摘要

A multi-slat wing particularly for a fixed rigging of sails, includes several essentially stiff wing elements (1) and comprising a leading edge (8) and a trailing edge (14). The elements (1) are arranged so that the longitudinal axes of their profiles form in their normal operating position at least approximately a sector of an arc making the ratio of the mean camber line (c) of the wing construction's suction surface to the chord (g) to be about 10...45%; and each element has a rounded front edge (9) and a tapering rear edge (10) so that the suction surface (11) of the element's (1) front edge (9) together with the thrust surface (12) of the element's (1) rear edge (10) forms a channel (13). e.g., a linearly tapering channel, whose minimum width is 0.5...5% of the chord (g) length. The implementation of the invention provides a high lift coefficient. <IMAGE>
