CA 2298005

Modules that can be impinged upon by compressed air are arranged in front of and behind a box-shaped spar (1), whereby said modules have an airtight top skin and an airtight bottom skin and plates (7) which can transmit thrust are disposed therebetween. Each plate (7) has a console on each side. Said console extends along the entire length of the wing profile. One to two flexible tubes (9) that are airtight and only slightly extensible are inserted between two such consoles. When the tubes are subjected to pressure, they cause the plates (9) to move substantially parallel to each other and provide the wing with the desired camber. The aerodynamic profile is defined by rigid sheeting (10) whereby said sheeting (10) is secured to the top skin, bottom skin (5) and the sheet in an articulated manner by the plates (11) that are provided with. hinges (14). The on-flow edge (3) of the wing has two airtight and only slightly extensible flexible tubes (15,16) which, when inflated in an appropriate manner, provide the on-flow edge (3) with the required shape. The off-flow edge (4) is open.

A l'avant et à l'arrière d'un longeron en forme de caisson (1) sont agencés des modules alimentés à l'air comprimé, présentant chacun une peau supérieure étanche à l'air et une peau inférieure, également étanche à l'air (6), entre lesquelles sont disposées des plaques (7) pouvant transmettre des forces de poussée. Chaque plaque (7) porte, de chaque côté, une console s'étendant sur toute la longueur du profil de l'aile; entre deux consoles sont placés un à deux tuyaux étanches à l'air et peu extensibles (9) qui, lorsqu'ils sont soumis à une pression, déplacent les plaques (7) sensiblement parallèlement les unes aux autres, conférant ainsi à l'aile le bombement voulu. Le profil aérodynamique est défini par une feuille rigide (10) qui est fixée articulée aux plaques (11) par des charnières (14) sur la peau supérieure, la peau inférieure (6) et la feuille (10). Le bord d'attaque (3) de l'aile renferme deux tuyaux étanches à l'air et peu extensibles (15, 16) qui, lorsqu'ils sont gonflés de façon appropriée, confèrent la forme voulue au bord d'attaque; le bord de fuite (4) est ouvert.
