Patent

CA 2678053

An airship (10) may include a hull (22) substantially shaped as an oblate spheroid, one or more frame members (120, 122, 124) defining a support structure (20), wherein the support structure forms at least a partial support for the hull, at least one horizontal stabilizing member (315) operably coupled to a lower surface of the airship, and at least one horizontal stabilizing member (315) having a first end and a second end. The at least one horizontal stabilizing member (315) may define an anhedral configuration. The airship may also include a vertical stabilizing member (310) having a first end pivotally coupled to the airship and a second end oriented to remain below an upper surface of the airship. The vertical stabilizing member (310) may be configured to pivot within a vertical plane, and the first end of the vertical stabilizing member and the first end of the at least one horizontal stabilizing member may ~ be operably coupled to one another.

L'invention concerne un aéronef pouvant comprendre une coque formée sensiblement sous la forme d'un sphéroïde aplati; un ou plusieurs éléments d'armature définissant une structure de support, la structure de support formant au moins un support partiel pour la coque; au moins un élément stabilisant horizontal couplé de manière opérationnelle à une surface inférieure de l'aéronef; et au moins un élément stabilisant horizontal muni d'une première extrémité et d'une seconde extrémité. Le ou les éléments stabilisants horizontaux peuvent définir une configuration de dièdre négatif. L'aéronef peut également comprendre un élément stabilisant vertical pourvu d'une première extrémité couplée de manière pivotante à l'aéronef et d'une seconde extrémité orientée pour rester au-dessous d'une surface supérieure de l'aéronef. L'élément stabilisant vertical peut être configuré pour pivoter dans un plan vertical; la première extrémité de l'élément stabilisant vertical et la première extrémité du ou des éléments stabilisants horizontaux peuvent être couplées de manière opérationnelle l'une à l'autre.
