Description

The present invention provides a ram wing shape support device that maintains the shape of a ram wing that forms a shape by ram pressure, a ram wing using the ram wing shape support device, and a propeller. The present invention relates to an apparatus, a control apparatus for the flight apparatus, a foot launch type flight apparatus, and other derivative apparatuses.

The Lilienthal glider, which is said to be the first human glider, is also different from the ram wing, which is made by joining multiple cells in the direction of the span. It is well-known that it was a ram wing that formed a shape with the ram pressure generated by it, and now its blood has been taken over by a single-surface hang glider.

On the other hand, an upper surface and a lower surface are formed of a flexible cloth having airtightness, and an airfoil rim that connects the upper surface and the lower surface and a bag-like cell provided with an air intake port in the forward direction are connected laterally to increase acceleration. Paraglider is known as an aero sport using double-surface ram wings that form with ram pressure.

The paraglider is originally composed of a flexible cloth having airtightness for the purpose of making the parachute controllable, and its upper and lower surfaces are composed of an airfoil rim connecting the upper and lower surfaces, and an air intake port in the forward direction. A ram wing that forms a shape by a ram pressure generated by acceleration, a line that suspends a pilot from the ram wing or operates the ram wing, and the line is a pilot. The main advantage is that such a ram wing can be made relatively lightweight.

In addition, various foot launch aircraft are enjoyed as sports, but in general, the foot launch aircraft is read by the pilots looking at the windsock, etc., reading the direction of the wind, lifting the aircraft from a stationary state, turning the aircraft upwind, It is necessary to accelerate by human power until the atmospheric speed reaches 20-30km, and at this time it is necessary to adjust the direction of running in response to the unwinding wind and the opposite angle of the aircraft, this response If it was not possible, it was forced to cancel the takeoff, and it was often impossible to take off.

In addition, natural energy has been reviewed due to various problems such as global warming, and wind power generation has become popular.

In the above paraglider, the resistance caused by the Karman vortex generated by the line is great, and it is difficult to improve the atmospheric speed of the paraglider.

On the other hand, the hang glider outperforms the paraglider in speed but is inferior in weight. In particular, the double surface type hang glider has a significant increase in weight for the purpose of speed improvement.

In addition, the ram wing is greatly affected by the wind, and the conditions at takeoff differ greatly when the wind is strong and weak. Correspondingly, when the wind is weak, all the air intakes are opened as much as possible. Various measures have been taken to open the air intake only where it is necessary when it is strong, but it is originally made of thin and soft chemical fiber and has a structure formed by ram pressure. It was difficult to keep the air intake open when there was no wind.

In addition, the ram wings made of chemical fiber cloth sometimes had a life-threatening situation called smashing (collapse) due to a sudden change in airflow during flight.

In addition, takeoff and landing operations are the most difficult for all foot launch aircraft, and it is impossible to overcome this.

Large propellers are necessary for large power generation, and the large propellers are heavy, and the bases that support the heavy propellers are large.Of course, both the propellers and bases are expensive. Wind propellers are originally symmetrical with a pair of the same type of wings. The structure of the single piece is the same as that of the wing, and the ram wing made by connecting multiple cells stitched together at the trailing edge and both side edges in the span direction can be made lightweight, but it was originally developed from a parachute. The line part was assumed to be indispensable, and there was no bag-like wing that formed a shape with ram pressure without using the line, so it was not used as a propeller for power generation.

In order to achieve the above object, in the first aspect of the present invention, the upper surface 102 and the lower surface 103 are formed of a flexible cloth having airtightness, an airfoil rim 104 connecting the upper surface 102 and the lower surface 103, and air in the forward direction.

Although it is a device that receives and rotates and obtains power, it should be understood that the basic structure is exactly the same, and in this description, the propeller is included in the propeller to avoid complicating the description.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, 101 is a cell formed in a bag-like airfoil with a nylon cloth, and the cell 101 is generally joined by stitching an upper surface (upper face) 102, a lower surface (lower face) 103, and a rim 104, The front of the cell 101 is opened to form an air intake port 105, and the cell 101 is stitched side by side with the rim 104 as a center to connect to form a double surface ram blade 1.

Corresponding to the shape of the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1, a frame 201 is formed as a supporting means 2 made of a light and rigid material such as an aluminum alloy. A front edge beam (front spar) 202 corresponding to the front edge 106 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge 106) and a rear edge beam 203 (rear spar) corresponding to the rearmost end 107 (hereinafter referred to as the rear edge 107) of the lower surface 103 are provided. The edge beam 202 and the rear edge beam 203 are connected by a connecting beam 204.

In the figure, reference numeral 301 denotes a Kepler string provided as a connecting means 3 for detachably connecting the ram blade 1 and the frame 201. The string 301 includes the front edge beam 202, the rear edge beam 203, and the connection beam 204. The ram blade 1 and the support means 2 are configured to be sewn to the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 corresponding to the connecting position of the ram blade and to bind the ram blade to the front edge beam 202, the rear edge beam 203, and the connection beam 204. That is, the frame 201 is detachably connected.

According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the air intake port 105 provided in front of the ram blade 1 is directed to the windward side, or the air intake port 105 is accelerated toward the front surface to accelerate the air intake port 105. The shape of the blade is easily formed by the ram pressure of the introduced air, and the shape of the ram blade 1 itself is formed by the ram pressure, the maintenance force and the lower surface 103 of the ram blade shape support device. Since the shape of the air is maintained, it is not necessary to form and maintain the shape of the line, and it is possible to reduce the air resistance caused by the line. It is possible to recover quickly without being crushed in the lateral direction, which is the most dangerous.

In addition, the ram blade provided with the ram blade shape support device configured as described above can attach a heavy object, which is impossible with a conventional ram blade, due to the rigidity of the support.

In the embodiment described above, the frame 201 as the support means 2 of the ram blade shape support device is provided outside the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1, but is not limited to the outside of the lower surface 103, and is not limited to the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1. A concave portion corresponding to the frame 201 is provided in advance, and the frame 201 is accommodated in the concave portion, and then the Kepler string provided as the connecting means 3 is used to connect the concave portion as shown in FIG. 4B. The lower surface 103 may be formed so as to cover the frame 201 and sewn and fixed, and the effect of reducing the air resistance can be obtained. At this time, the connecting means 3 that is detachably connected is naturally omitted.

It should be noted that known connection means such as a tie-lock (trade name) fastening device can be used as the connection means 3, and no description is required.

In the embodiment described above, the frame 201 as the support means 2 is formed in a rectangular shape, the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 is a flat surface, and the frame 201 corresponding to the lower surface 103 is provided. However, the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 is not necessarily provided. 5 and 6, even if the lower surface 103 is curved, the same effect as the embodiment of FIG. 1 can be obtained by having the curved frame 201 corresponding to the curved lower surface.

The frame 201 as the support means 2 of the ram blade shape support device described above is formed in a rectangular shape and is provided with the frame 201 corresponding to the entire surface of the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1. However, the entire surface of the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 is not necessarily provided. As shown in FIG. 7, a line 108 connecting the leading edge 106 of the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 and the center of the lift that is generated (hereinafter referred to as lift spar 108 is a term coined by the inventor for each cell 101). Even if the frame 201 with the corresponding trailing edge girder 203 corresponding to the above is constructed, the portion not supported by the frame 201 is shaped and maintained by the ram pressure of the ram blade 1 itself. The shape is formed and maintained by force and can be used without any practical problems.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, even if the front edge 106 of the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1, that is, the lower side of the air intake port 105 is configured by the curve 111, the frame 201 is configured as the frame 201 corresponding to the curve 111. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the frame 201 may be provided separately from the lower surface 103, and the string 301 as a connecting means may be used as a suspension line 302 as short as possible. It is not necessary to correspond to the lower shape of the lower surface 103 of the blade 1 and the lower shape of the air intake port 105, and it is convenient to use the existing ram blade to reduce the air resistance.

The connecting beam 204 constituting the frame 201 of the embodiment described above can be added or omitted freely and can be selected according to the purpose. Ultimately, as shown in FIG. 9, the frame 201 has a central connecting beam 205 and one end coupled to it. The front edge girder 202 and the rear edge girder 203 provided in this configuration are premised on the use of a tough and flexible material more than that used in the embodiment of FIGS. Carbon fiber and various honeycomb materials can be used with an easy structure, and the shape is not limited. The connection method of the connecting beam 205, the leading edge beam 202 and the trailing edge beam 203 may be fixed or removable. Any known method can be used.
Although it is not necessary to explain that the connecting means used in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 8 can be used as the connecting means 3, a recess corresponding to the frame 201 is previously provided on the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 shown in FIG. 4B. The lower surface 103 is formed so as to cover the frame 201 accommodated in the recess, and the frame 201 is detachably provided in the recess, and the frame 201 and the recess may be fixed by frictional resistance. However, it is also possible to provide a known means for locking the frame 201 and the recess after the frame 201 is newly inserted into the recess.

In the embodiment described above, the frame 201 as the support means 2 of the ram blade shape support device is provided on the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1, but the present invention is not limited to the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1, and is shown in FIGS. In the embodiment shown, the frame 201 as the support means 2 is extended to the air intake port 105, and the extended frame basically has no difference from the frame 201 as the support means 2 and maintains the shape of the ram wing. It is possible to extend from the air intake 105 to the air intake 105, which explains that air can be taken in without wind, and recovery when the ram pressure decreases due to some factor can be quickly explained. This embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals assigned to the same parts.

The ram blade used in this description and the lower surface of the ram blade are supported by the ram blade 1 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and a frame 201 as a support means for functionally maintaining the shape of the ram blade. The extended frame is called in-frame 211 for the sake of explanation.

In FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, 211 is made of a flexible, rigid and lightweight material, and one end 207 is fixed to the leading edge beam 202 described in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 11 with the other end facing upward. The other end 208 is an in-frame provided in contact with the upper part of the rim 104 and the front edge 106 constituting the air intake 105, and the air intake 105 has the air intake 105 in a desired shape from the inside. As described above, the structure is formed and the shape is maintained. As described above, the structure is very simple, but the effect is great, and the lower surface 103 of the ram blade is supported by the frame 201 as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 11, The air intake 105, which is the most important for the new double-face ram blade, is formed and maintained from the inside by the in-frame 211, and the air intake 105 is always opened.
In the present embodiment configured as described above, it can be used in the same manner as the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 11, and the air intake port 105 that is always open is easily taken up by acceleration in the absence of wind. When the ram pressure is reduced, two important features of the ram blade are that air is quickly taken in from the air inlet 105 that is always open and the recovery of the ram pressure is faster than in the embodiment of FIGS. It has an effect on difficulty in starting up defects and slipping.

14A is an enlarged partial view of the region A in FIG. 14. The solid line indicates the normal state, and the broken line indicates the state where the air intake 105 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 14A, the base of the in-frame 211 is elastic body. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which it is formed of 221 and is located outside the rim 104 during normal use, inserted into the rim 104 during use, and brought into contact with and locked against the rim 104 by the elasticity of the elastic body 221.

Further, the other end 208 of the in-frame 211 may be inserted and locked into the seam 110 where the upper surface 102 constituting the air intake port 105 and the rim 104 are joined by stitching, and more positively shown in FIG. 15A and 15B, the pocket 109 for locking the other end 208 of the in-frame 211 is provided in advance at the upper left and right lower ends of the front edge 106 constituting the air intake port 105 or the upper and lower ends of the rim 104. The deviation from 105 can be prevented and the locking of the in-frame 211 to the air intake 105 can be ensured.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the in-frame 211 is provided with a protrusion 206 on the outer side of the in-frame 211 as a means for locking the in-frame 211 to the air intake 105, and the protrusion 206 passes through the rim 104 and is locked to the air intake 105. Even if the locking means is configured, the rim 104 may be previously provided with a hole through which the protrusion 206 passes.

The in-frame 211 described above basically has one end 207 fixed to the front edge beam 202 with the other end facing upward, and the lower portion of the front edge 106, the rim 104, and the front edge provided along the rim to form the air intake 105. Although the shape of the upper part of 106 has been maintained, both ends are fixed to the leading edge girder 202 and provided in a U shape, or as shown in FIG. Good.

The in-frame 211 described above is fixed to the leading edge girder in some form, but this in-frame 211 can be independently used as a ram wing shape support device, particularly as an air intake shape support device, FIG. As shown in Fig. 17, by providing pockets 109 above and below the air intake 105, only the in-frame 211 may be provided at the air intake 105, and in particular, a part or all of it is formed with a flexible elastic body. The in-frame 211 configured to be locked by the restoring force is conveniently provided so as to be detachable from the air intake port 105.

The in-frame 211 described above is ideally formed of a material that is light, flexible, and rigid. FIG. 18A is an enlarged view of the material used in the embodiment of FIG. It can be bent and used as it is, and as shown in Fig. 18B, it is convenient to form the in-frame 211 temporarily on the existing ram wing 1 to make the aluminum pipe suitable for the purpose. Can be cut and used.

Further, in FIG. 18C, a glass fiber tube 224 is used as a material having high rigidity, and a spring 225 is used as an elastic body. The difference from the configuration in FIG. 18 is that the length is cut to a required length, and then the spring 225 is inserted. The spring 225 can be used as a locking means for locking the in-frame 211 to the air intake port 105, and the locking means uses a rubber 226 with a sharp tip. May be.

19 is an embodiment of an in-frame 211 using springs 225 as elastic bodies at the four corners. FIG. 19A is an enlarged view of a region A in FIG. 19, and the in-frame 211 is made of the material of the embodiment of FIG.

Here, the air intake port was used as an air intake shape support device, inserted in X shape using the in-frame 211 of FIGS. 20 and 21, and was always opened, and a motor paraglider was used as a ram wing of a double surface system when there was almost no wind. Launch and disclose take-off test results.

Experiment date Time October 20, 2004 10:00 am-5:00 pm Location Weather conditions in the Chikumagawa Riverbed, Saku City, Nagano Prefecture Sunny, almost no wind, sometimes weak winds that may be caused by grand thermals, but no direction.

Under the above conditions, the air intake shape support device, which has been opened in advance using the air intake shape support device for the air intake of the paraglider and compared with the normal startup, has grown on the riverbed. The same arrangement as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 28 is used by inserting it into the air intake port in the same manner as the embodiment shown in FIG. Total flight time 150 hours or more, B weight 65 kg Total flight time 50 hours or more, C weight 55 kg Total flight time 600 hours or more, use motor about 40 kg thrust, use glider use for the experienced person of projected wing area about 23 square meters Then, 10 launches each with and without supporting means were performed a total of 60 times by 3 pilots.

result
A, Successful 7 out of 10 times with support means, average take-off distance of 37m, normal 4 times out of 10 successful average take-off distance of 54m.
B, 6 out of 10 successes with support means, average take-off distance of 35m, normally 2 out of 10 successful take-off distances of 58m.
C, 10 out of 10 successes with support means, average takeoff distance 25m, normal 6 out of 10 successful takeoff distance 38m.
The above results confirmed the effectiveness of the in-frame as a support means.

Regardless of the success or failure of the test without the nursing care of the test, the pilot performs from setup to start-up alone, and the interval from start-up to the next start-up is approximately 10-15 minutes, and waiting for the wind is performed. After setup, only the breathing was done and the test was executed. Even though it was almost no wind, it was possible to avoid takeoff at least in the tailwind if you waited for some wind, and you can expect a success rate of almost 100% with support means I think that the.

In addition, as mentioned above, the material used is the stalk of Japanese pampas grass, and it should be noted that further effects can be expected by using a more flexible, lightweight and uniform material.

20 to 23 and FIG. 26 are also examples of an air intake shape support device using a Japanese squirrel stalk as a model with reference to the result of the previous experiment. In FIG. A clip 232 as a locking means for locking at the corner of the air intake 105 is detachably provided at both ends of the dry stem 231 of the Susuki, and the clip 232 uses an elastic plastic to enter the end of the stem 231. The joint part 236 has a taper process that becomes narrower as it goes deeper, and corresponds to uneven thickness of the squirrel stem. The upper and lower front edges 106 with the frictional resistance of the clip 232 and the resilience of the squirrel stem shown in FIG. Alternatively, the same effect as that of the embodiment shown in FIG.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, the joint part 236 for connecting the clip 232 and the dried stem 231 of the Japanese pampas grass may be detachably provided.

Further, it is not necessary to explain that further effects can be expected by using a more flexible, light and uniform material instead of the stem of the pampas grass.

However, when the clip 232 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 20 is used for the air intake port 105, the clip 232 and the adjacent clip 232 may interfere with each other, resulting in inconvenience. In this manner, the two clips 232 may be connected to the X type or the V type to form a connection clip 233.

In the above description, the embodiment in which the derivative device of the ram wing shape support device is extended to the air intake as the air intake shape support device, the in-frame example provided in the air intake independently, and the experiment used for the paraglider As explained above, the ram wing is greatly affected by the wind, and the conditions differ greatly when the wind is strong and weak.

As a countermeasure, the ram blade shape support device and the air intake shape support device independently provided in the air intake port 105 can be used, that is, as a means for opening the individual air intake ports 105 as a measure when the wind is weak. The support means can be used, but it can be used as a means to close the air intake 105, which is not necessary when the wind is strong, and as a means to limit the amount of air taken in from each air intake 105. Explain.

24 and 25, a cover 234 as a means for closing the air intake 105 or a means for limiting the amount of air taken in is attached to the in-frame 211 as the air intake shape support device, and flows in from the air intake 105. It is possible to make the amount of air to be close to the necessary and sufficient amount, making it easy to use when wind is strong. The attachment method of the cover 234 to the in-frame 211 is well-known sewing It is obvious that other known attachment methods can be used, which is a method and description thereof is omitted.

In FIG. 24, a hole 235 for limiting the amount of air flowing into the cover 234 is provided, but the cover 234 without the hole 235 serves as a means for closing the air intake 105, and the air resistance as shown in FIG. The cover guide 244 formed to reduce the air resistance may be provided, or the in-frame 211 may be combined with the cover guide 244 by reducing the air resistance to reduce the air resistance. The air intake 105 during flight in a stable air flow is merely a source of resistance, and the cover 234 is formed by removing the unnecessary air intake 105 from the cover guide 244 formed to reduce the air resistance. It is possible to reduce this air resistance by attaching.

When used as a means for closing the individual air intake 105 described above and as a means for limiting the amount of air taken in from the individual air intake 105, a cover 234 for the air intake 105 as shown in FIGS. The installation position may be an arbitrary air intake 105, and can be selected at random according to the strength and change of the wind at that time.

As a result of the experiment, the arrangement as shown in Fig. 29 gives good results when an almost constant and strong wind blows, and the arrangement shown in Fig. 30 shows when the strong wind blows or stops, and the wind direction is within a short time. The arrangement as shown in FIG.

Although the cover 234 attached to the in-frame 211 as a means for closing the air intake port 105 described above or a means for limiting the amount of air taken in has been described, the cover 234 may be made of the same material as the ram blade, It is possible to use a material with higher rigidity to reduce the air resistance.Furthermore, the cover 234 is pre-sewn on the front edge 106 of the upper surface 102. The in-frame 211 described above is inserted when necessary, and conversely, the rim 104 or the front edge 106 of the upper surface 102 is provided with the same material as the constituent material of the in-frame 211, and the cover is provided when necessary. 234 may be used.

As described above, the ram blade shape support device and the air intake port forming support device, particularly the frame 201 and the in-frame 211 as the support means 2 have been described, but the in-frame 211 is not limited to the air intake port 105 and can be re-extended into the cell 101. 32 to 35 show an embodiment in which the in-frame 211 is re-extended into the cell 101. This embodiment is an extension of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 and FIGS. 12 to 31, and the principle is the support means. Although there is no difference from the frames 201 and 211 as 2, the connecting means 3 becomes unnecessary by providing inscribed, and a new effect is produced, so it will be explained as a cell shape support device, but for the sake of simplicity, the rim frame 252 cell frame 251 and the name of the rim frame 252 are used for explanation, and the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in the previous embodiment, and this embodiment will be described.

32, 33 and 34, 252 corresponds to the shape of the rim 104 constituting the ram wing 1, and the rim frame is omitted from the rear, and the rim frame 252 corresponds to the upper frame 253 corresponding to the upper surface 102 and the lower surface 103. The lower frame 254 is provided, and is composed of the upper frame 253 and the reinforcing frame 255 that reinforces and connects the lower frame 254. Basically, one set is provided in one cell, and is connected to the in-frame 211. The upper front edge girder 213 is provided with a lower front edge girder 212 below the upper front edge girder 213, and a pair of rim frame 252 for reinforcing and connecting the rim frames 252 (provided in parallel with the lower front edge girder 212). The rim connecting frame 256 is ideally provided corresponding to the lifting spar 108 described above), and the cell frame 251 as the support means 2 is formed so that the cell 101 can be seen from the inside. And it has a configuration that maintains the shape formed.

The cell frame 251 configured as described above can be inserted into an arbitrary cell 101 of the ram wing 1, and the cell 101 into which at least the cell frame 251 is inserted from the slip which is the greatest drawback of the ram wing 1 due to its structure. Shape formation by the ram pressure of the cell 101 itself, shape formation by the maintenance force and the cell frame 251, the shape is formed, maintained and released by the synergistic effect of the maintenance force. It is possible to quickly recover from this, and to load and store heavy objects in the wing, which was impossible with conventional ram wings.

Although the rear portion is omitted, as described in the embodiment of FIG. 7, the shape is formed by the ram pressure of the ram blade 1 itself, the shape is formed and maintained by the maintenance force, and can be used without any practical trouble. FIG. 35 shows an embodiment in which the rear end is not omitted and is supported up to the trailing edge 107. Use of flaps, ailerons, etc.).

Note that the reinforcing frame 255 constituting the rim frame 252 may be omitted or increased as necessary, and the rim connecting frame 256 constituting the cell frame 251 may also be reduced if necessary. The upper front edge beam 213 and the lower front edge beam 212 provided on the in-frame 211 may be omitted if necessary.

The cell frame 251 can be used as a storage for the ram wing 1 itself. At this time, it is possible to use the sliding assist means 5 shown in FIGS. Convenient to.

In the embodiment described above, the cell frames 251 can be used independently. The rim frames constituting the cell frame 251 described above can also be used independently, and the cell frames 251 are connected to each other. I will explain it together.

As shown in FIGS. 36, 36A, and 37, the cell frame 251 may be spread over the entire ram blade 1, and at this time, it is not always necessary to provide a set of rim frames 252 in one cell 101, as shown in FIGS. Thus, any rim frame 252 can be removed and used according to the purpose.

Fig. 42 shows that the ram blade 1 uses only the center cell frame 251 and the air intake in-frame 211, and if necessary, the center of the blade in-frame 211 and the air intake in-frame 211 is connected to the rim connection frame. In this embodiment, the rim connection frame 256 is not indispensable and may be omitted.

The fact that the ram blade is strongly affected by wind is explained in the embodiment of FIG. 24. As a countermeasure, it is effective to bring the amount of air flowing in from the air intake close to the necessary and sufficient amount. This is achieved by adjusting the area of the air intake as a countermeasure, which is a unique method of ram blades made of flexible material with airtightness and forming the blade shape with the pressure of the incoming air explain.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 43A, B, and 44 is a cross girder 207 that is rotatable with respect to the upper front edge girder 213 and the lower front edge girder 212 as folding means that can be fixed to the in-frame 211 of the air intake port at any position. Both end portions 209 are provided, and a means for fixing the cross girder 207 provided rotatably is provided at an arbitrary position, and the air intake port 105 is fixed with the area of the air intake port 105 optimized.

The configuration as described above is a method unique to the ram blade made of a flexible material having airtightness.In this embodiment, the area of the air intake 105 is set at an arbitrary position according to the wind strength at that time. It can be adjusted using means that can be fixed, and the area of the air intake 105 can be reduced during strong winds and can be opened when there is no wind, making the amount of air flowing in from the air intake 105 a necessary and sufficient amount. It can be moved closer, expanding the usable conditions of the ram wing and reducing the air resistance.

As shown in FIG. 45, instead of the cross beam 207, a rim beam 227 provided in parallel with the rim may be divided into upper and lower portions, and both end portions 228 and the central portion 229 may be rotatably provided.

43 to 45, the cross girder 207 and the rim girder 227 can be omitted in units of the air intake 105 if necessary, and finally the cross girder 207 at the center and the most advanced part of the blade, Only the rim girder 227 can be used.

43 to 45, the cross girder 207, the rim girder 227, the both end portions 228, the center portion 229, and the means for making it rotatable and the means for making it possible to fix at an arbitrary position are well-known objects, The explanation was omitted.

32 to 45, the in-frame 211 provided in the air intake port 105 may be omitted and the rim frame 252 and the connecting frame 256 alone may be used as the ram wing, and the upper leading edge girder. Only 213 and the lower leading edge girder 212 may be provided in any air intake 105, and the rim girder 227 may be inserted as necessary to keep the air intake 105 open at all times. An upper front edge girder 213 may be provided as a whole, and a lower front edge girder 212 may be provided throughout the lower part, and a cross girder 207 and a rim girder 227 may be inserted as necessary to open the air intake port 105.

The cover guide 244 may be fixed to the lower front edge beam 212 and the upper front edge beam 213 and may also be used as the in-frame 211.

FIGS. 46 and 7 show an embodiment in which the cell shape support device 251 according to the present invention is used for the two cells 101 in the center of the ram blade 1, and the recovery from the slip of the paraglider using the paraglider as the ram blade 1 is possible quickly. ,still. Although it was used for the two cells 101 in the center but there was no center cell on the drawing, and there is a cell in the center, the cell shape support device 251 may be used for only one center, and the cell shape support device is inserted. There is no limit to the position and number of cells to be created.

In addition, the cell shape support device of the embodiment shown in FIG. 31 can be used for a paraglider as the ram wing 1 as shown in FIGS. 46 and 47. At this time, as shown in FIG. 48.49, the cell frame 251 is extended rearward. 50 or 76, a leading tail 502 may be provided in front of the cell frame 251 and used for controlling the vertical plane or the angle of attack, or as a flap. When the leading blade 502 is provided in front of the cell frame 251, the cover 234 of the air intake port 105 described above can be used as the leading blade 502.

The ram wing 1 shown in FIG. 46 to FIG. 50 uses a ram wing for a paraglider and does not require explanation that known paraglider equipment and equipment can be used, especially for speed and safety, and for take-off and landing. If pursuing simplicity, it is ideal to use one or both of known temporary blade surface angle changing means, commonly known as an accelerator, blade surface angle changing means, commonly known trim, or both.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 10 described above, the support means 2 is provided on the lower surface 102 or below the ram blade 1, and the support means 2 provided in the cell is developed in the embodiment of FIGS. 10 to 43. In the embodiment of FIG. 42, the support means 2 has been described as having an arrangement in which a part of the ram blade 1 is supported from the inside, but this configuration is not limited to being within the ram blade 1, and the embodiment of FIGS. Similarly, the support means may be provided outside the ram blade 1 and the ram blade 1 and the support means 2 may be connected by the connecting means 3, which will be described below with reference to the drawings.

51 to 53, the rear edge 107 of the ram blade 1 is curved, but its basic configuration is the same as that of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, and the frame 201 as the support means 2 has a front edge as shown in the figure. The spar 202 is formed so as to narrow from the central part 237 to the front end part 238, the connecting girder 204 is omitted except on the line connecting the centers of the lifts, that is, near the base corresponding to the lift spar 108, and the trailing edge girder 203 is All of them are omitted, and a reinforcing means 265 is provided in the vicinity of the center of the front edge girder 202 from the rear part of the connecting girder 204 constituting the frame 201. The above supporting means 2 is shown in FIGS. The connecting means 3 described above is connected to the ram blade 1 and its drawing is omitted. In the figure, reference numeral 266 is further reinforced with a spar that reinforces the reinforcing girder 265, but the reinforcing girder 266 may be omitted.

The portion of the ram blade 1 according to the present invention configured as described above is not supported by the frame 201, and the shape of the ram blade 1 itself depends on the ram pressure of the ram blade 1 itself. The ram pressure rigidity of the blade 1 itself is transmitted to the leading edge girder 202 and the reinforcing girder 231 and can be used without any practical problems.

Further, as shown in FIG. 51, by positively changing the shape of the cell and by forming the trailing edge 107 in a curved line, the ram pressure rigidity is improved compared to a ram blade having a trailing edge 107, and the ram pressure is improved. The shape formation and maintenance force based on the ram pressure of the blade 1 itself can be increased, and the blade shape can be easily maintained.

As described above, the ram wing 1 that does not support the entire ram wing 1 with the support means 2 functions as a wing without any trouble as described above. As shown in FIG. 63, when used as shown, a king post 506 is provided up and down as in the case of a hang glider, and a tension line 507 connected to the king post 506 is provided. 507 may be provided as an auxiliary means for forming the airfoil, and in an extreme embodiment, the propeller as shown in FIG. When it is used, the tension line 507 is also unnecessary, and although it is inferior in stability as a wing of a flying device, it can be used. Naturally, by providing the tension line 507 below the paraglider, a certain stability is restored.

The ram blade 1 provided with each of the shape support devices described above is a ram wing in spite of the fact that it has greatly improved the resistance to slipping and the resilience from the tumbling compared to the conventional ram wing. As a countermeasure, it is desirable for the pilot to promptly inform the pilot of changes in the air pressure in the blade, but the conventional ram blade is difficult in terms of structure, and the shape support device according to the present invention is provided. In the ram wing 1, it is possible to provide atmospheric pressure sensing means anywhere in the wing, and to provide transmission means for transmitting the atmospheric pressure sensed by the atmospheric pressure sensing means to a position where it can be easily confirmed by the pilot. By providing a display means that notifies the pilot's five senses of the pressure transmitted to the pilot's easy-to-confirm position, it is possible to transmit the change in air pressure in the wing to the pilot It is possible to quick response of the pilot for the change in pressure.

It should be noted that known devices can be used as the atmospheric pressure sensing means, transmission means, and display means. In particular, as the atmospheric pressure sensing means, the upper surface 102 and the lower surface 103 of the ram blade 1 and the tension state of the rim 104 are detected. A publicly known device may be used, and in any case, it is a publicly known device, and the description of the drawing and mounting method is omitted, and only the idea is disclosed.

Each frame as the support means 2 described above uses a flexible rigid body material, but the material and shape of each frame are not limited, and the double-face type ram wing is set to a substantially desired shape in a stationary state. As long as it is a rigid body that can be maintained, the effect of the present invention can be obtained. Incidentally, an irregular material such as highly airtight nylon, rubber, silicon, etc. is used to form a flexible pipe having airtightness and above standard atmospheric pressure. It may be configured to be filled with air, and while maintaining the light weight of the ram blade, it is possible to maintain resistance to slipping while simultaneously reducing resistance and making it easier to carry. This is the same as 201, 211, and 251 in 57, and is omitted.

As described in the embodiment of FIG. 47, the ram wing provided with each shape support device according to the present invention described above can be used as an aircraft wing when the connecting frame 210 is used symmetrically from the center as shown in FIG. In addition, when the connecting frame 210 is used symmetrically with respect to the center as shown in FIG. 57, it can be used as a propeller. Of course, the frames 201 may be connected and fixed without using the connecting frame 210 as shown in FIGS. It can be used as it is for existing aircraft and wind power generators. As a special usage, it can be used as a blower and sunshade by installing a floppler horizontally and blowing in a certain wind on the beach, or as an object that moves as an interesting usage. It can be used as a moving object that can be easily installed due to its light weight.

Although the drawing is omitted, the ram wing provided with each shape support device according to the present invention can be used alone as a sail of a sailing ship.

When the ram wing provided with each shape support device according to the present invention described above is used as an aircraft wing, the same control method as a conventional ram wing aircraft can be used as necessary. Control method can be used and can be selected according to the purpose, and of course, it can also be used together as necessary, and it is possible to reduce the wing area as necessary as with paragliders. By using properly depending on the conditions and purpose of flight, good results are achieved in safety, flight speed, and cruising range.

One end A of the line 712 is pivotally connected, while the other end B of the line 712 is coupled to a required part of the rear edge 107 of the ram blade 1, and further, the steel traction wire is connected to the other end 722 of the cam 711. 713 is also pivotably connected, and the wire 713 is controlled by a loop-like grip 715 that passes through the wing and is changed by a pulley 714 in front of the pilot by 270 degrees and is held by the pilot at the other end. Configure the device.

The control devices configured as described above are respectively disposed on the ram blades 1 provided symmetrically.

In the control device configured as described above, by pulling one of the grips 715 provided with two pilots toward the front, the trailing edge 107 formed by the ram pressure deforms the pulled side downward, and the air Increased resistance, the foot launch machine can turn in the towed direction, and pull the other side forward to turn the other side.

Note that by changing the distance from the rotation axis of the cam 711 to the one end 721 and the distance from the rotation axis to the other end 722, the principle of the lever that matches the difference in distance can be used.

75 and 76 show another embodiment according to the present invention, which is basically the same as the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 72, 73 and 74, and only different points will be described.

72, 73, and 74, the outer four trailing edges 107 are operated with one cam, but in this embodiment, a plurality of cams 730 corresponding to all the trailing edges 107 are provided as shown in the figure. The plurality of cams 730 are connected by a single shaft 731 and guided to the pilot's hand, and a control lever 732 is fixed near one end of the shaft 731 guided to the hand to constitute a control device.

With the control device configured as described above, the pilot can turn the foot launcher with a small force using the power of the kite.

The control device described above can also be used as a flap by simultaneously pulling both the grip 715 and the control lever 722 to the appropriate amount, and is effective when using a large angle of attack during takeoff and landing.

Further, the lift arms 504 provided in a pair on the left and right may also function as a control device. At this time, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 72 to 76, the lift arm 504 has a function as a control device. When combined, a part of the lift arm 504 is provided as a control grip 701 so as to be rotatable with respect to the lift arm 504, and the line 713 described in FIGS. 72 and 73 is generated by the rotational moment generated by rotating the control grip 701.

In addition, it is possible to control the power of a powered foot launch machine, which will be described later, with one control grip 701 that is not often used even if the control grip 701 is rotated to the right when the left or right control grip 701 is rotated to the right. The lift arm 504 may be provided with a well-known rigid-wing aircraft control means.

Further, the control device can also be used for the power generation propeller shown in FIG. 57, and can be used when the wind is weak to widen the range of usable wind power. Also

The above-described foot launch machine is an example of a non-powered machine, but it is basically the same as a powered foot launch machine. However, there are two types of powered foot launch machines. There is a method to attach power and a method to attach power to the aircraft, the former is called motor paraglider and generalized, the latter is called motor hang glider, and both methods require power adjustment means to adjust power With the motor paraglider, the control means and the power adjustment means are operated simultaneously with one hand.
