Abstract
593,751. Aeroplanes. KAISER CO., H. J. Oct. 12, 1944, No. 19723. Convention date, June 26, 1943. [Class 4] The main structural member of an " all wing" or other aeroplane consists of a 'tubular wing spar in which cargo and fuel are housed and the axis of which passes substantially through the centre of gravity of the aeroplane. As shown, the wing 1 is fitted with an elevator 7, ailerons 9, rudders 10 and airbrakes 8, the latter consisting of upper and lower flaps opening in opposite directions. Engines 5 and retractable landing gear 19 are supported from the main spar 6 which comprises a straight central portion 6a and tapered end portions 6b. A cabin 24 houses the pilot and flying controls. The spar 6 is trapezoidal in cross-section and comprises front and rear walls, formed by suitably braced vertical members 32, 33, and top and bottom walls 25, 28 formed by transverse and longitudinal members 26, 27. A floor 17 for stowage of cargo is supported by transverse and longitudinal members 30, 31. The spar is reinforced at intervals by bulkheads such as 33-37, formed by members 18, the bulkheads being extended to the front by frame members 38, 39 supporting the leading edge skin, and to the rear by ribs 23 braced by struts 42-45 and diagonal members 46-49. The members 38, 39 are connected. to the frame members 32 and to the top and bottom walls 25, 28 respectively, and constitute with the spar members a series of D-frames resisting twisting of the spar. Cargo and fuel is stowed as shown and is loaded by means of an overhead trolley 57 and a series of hatches 52, openings coinciding with the hatches being provided in the rear wall of the spar. A gangway 50, 50b is provided along the rear of the spar. The front wall of the spar terminates at bulkhead 35 and beyond this the spar continues as a stringer, the fuel and oil tanks being extended to the leading edge. The spar may be circular, Fig. 6 (not shown), or oval in crosssection and may consist of stepped sections. Fuel may be carried under the load-supporting floor.
