Abstract

158,099. Mead, W. J. Oct. 31, 1919. Planes and the like construction of.-Variation of camber and angle of incidence is produced by rotating the rear portion of an aerofoil, including the rear spar h, on the fixed front spar g by raising and lowering the rear spar, the portion in front of the front spar being immovable. The upper and lower struts a, b are hinged to the spars as shown in Fig. 2. The lower strut is replaced at intervals by a member' e, Fig. 3, which is provided to carry the pivoted trailing edge f and has an orifice large enough for the spar h to oscillate in. The covering is continuous and may be of fabric carried on flexible ribs, the upper and lower flanges c, d of which are hinged to the rear spar at j and to the pivoted trailing edge f as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, or the covering may be of thin metal hinged to the trailing edge in a similar manner. The overall size of the covering thus remains the same for the different angles of incidence. The application of the invention to a biplane is shown in Fig. 8, where a brace A is hinged to a top plane rear spar at B, and a nut and sprocket at C allows the angle of incidence to be varied.
