Abstract

508,367. Aircraft folding - wings. TILTMAN, A. H., and AIRSPEED (1934), Ltd. Nov. 27, 1937, No. 32816. [Class 4] A multi-engined aeroplane with engines 4 mounted on the wings, or on the wing structure, has wings which may be folded, carrying the engines with them, to reduce the space occupied by the aeroplane. The wings may fold forwards or backwards. Parts of the leading or trailing edges may overlap the fuselage 1 when folded, and means may be provided, either by relative inclination of the hinges about which the wings move or by moving the ailerons or flaps automatically, by which the wings partly overlap each other when folded. Jury struts 50 may be introduced before unlocking the wings. The undercarriage may be connected to the folding parts of the wings and move with them. Specification 294,319, [Class 4], is referred to.
