Abstract
541,258. Controlling aircraft. YOUNGMAN, R. T. July 12, 1940, No. 11598. [Class 4] In an aircraft split flap &c. comprising front and rear portions a, c, the latter being pivotally mounted in relation to the former and partaking of its movement, the rear portion is provided with a control link b which causes it to pivot relatively to the front portion to an extent corresponding, with the extent of movement of this portion and to rotate in the opposite direction to the front portion. This causes a slot to be formed between the positions and the rear portion to be at a negative angle of incidence to the air stream. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the portions are of the cross-sections illustrated, the front portion being pivoted at g to the wing d and the rear portion being pivotally mounted at e on brackets f extending rearwardly from the front portion. The control link is pivoted at j to the wing d and to the rear portion at k rearwardly of the pivotal axis at e. In a modification, the split flat a-c, Fig. 2, comprises the whole thickness of the wing, the front portion being pivotally mounted on an axis g beneath the wing d by means of brackets m so that in operation a slot n is formed therebetween. The front end of the control link h is pivoted at j to a bracket o extending rearwardly from the wing, the axis j being positioned as shown. In a modified mounting of the form of split flap shown in Fig. 1, the front portion a, Fig. 3, is carried by two links p, q of unequal length, the link p being pivoted at one end r to the wing and at its other end to the undersurface of the front portion at s near its trailing edge, and the link q being pivoted at one end u to the wing in the region shown and at its other end to the upper surface of the front portion at t near its leading edge. The front end of the control link h is pivotally connected to the link q at a point v about midway of its length.
