Abstract

1286104 Aircraft with variable sweep wings MESSERSCHMITT-BOLKOW-BLOHM GmbH 5 Sept 1969 [25 Sept 1968] 44083/69 Heading B7G An aircraft has variable sweep wings 4, each having a root area extending from swivel axis 45 and an outer area extending from the root area to the wing tip, the outer area being stiffened by chordal ribs 41 or stringers and the root area by webs 42, Fig. 4, or stringers 43, Fig. 5, varying in direction with respect to the spanwise axis of the wing. The webs 42 may radiate from the swivel axis 45; or the stringers 43 may vary in their inclination to the spanwise axis from 45 degrees near the swivel axis to 90 degrees where the root area meets the outer area. Thus the wing has high torsional rigidity about the spanwise axis and low flexural rigidity along that axis so that in the swept-back position the angle of attack decreases from root to tip (since the trailing edge of a cross-section 7 is at a greater distance from the root mounting than the leading edge) to a greater extent than in the unswept position, whereby the tendency of the centre of lift to shift backwards as the wing is swept backwards to be reduced or avoided.
