Definitions
- the invention relates to a towed body for displaying flight targets according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- infrared flares also called infrared tracking flares
- IR flares are available in a wide range of effects on the market and can be firmly attached to the rear area of the towed body.
- the target imaging means (towed body) is usually lost with each use.
- a towed body is disclosed in DE 198 14 936 C1, in which the infrared flares are not permanently installed at the rear of the towed body, but can be deployed by the towed body and by means of a detachable tow rope during the Burning time of the infrared flare can be pulled by the towed body.
- a height control for a towed body is known from DE 26 13 953 B2, wherein several identical, synchronously adjustable resistance bodies, which are distributed over the circumference of the towed body, are provided.
- the object of the invention is to provide the lightest possible, effective, geometrically small, high-temperature-resistant stabilization device for the IR tracking flare with simultaneous channeling of the flow surrounding the flare burnup.
- the IR flair has a ring wing at the rear. This advantageously consists of the thinnest, high-temperature-resistant steel sheet.
- the suspension of the ring wing is realized in the form of two bent molded parts, wherein individual surfaces of the bent molded part are simultaneously designed and effective as additional tail units.
- the entire stabilization unit consists of only three components, which enables inexpensive series production.
- the above-mentioned special requirements regarding burn-off during towed operations can be fully met.
- the IR flare designed in accordance with the invention shows, in particular, optimal burn-off behavior in the aerodynamic dead water behind the stabilizing cone. Further advantages of the invention result from the following exemplary embodiments, which are explained in more detail with reference to figures. 1 shows the execution of an IR flare according to the invention in two different ways
- FIG. 2 shows the execution of a stabilization unit from the ring wing and its
- FIG. 3 shows the execution of a further stabilization unit from the ring wing and its suspension in two different representations.
- the IR flare 3 shows an embodiment of the IR flare according to the invention in a view from the front (left) and a sectional drawing (right), the section plane running through the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical IR flare 3.
- the IR flare 3 has an annular wing 1 according to the invention, which is arranged concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the IR flare 3.
- the ring wing 1 is made of thin (e.g. 0.5 mm), high temperature resistant steel sheet.
- the suspension of the ring wing 1 is realized by means of two identical bent molded parts 2 (FIG. 2) which are welded to the ring wing, preferably laser-welded (position 20) and to which the IR flare 3 is fastened by means of a clamp 5. Partial surfaces of the bent molded parts 2 are designed and effective as additional tail units (fins 10) (in the sectional drawings on the right in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the fins 10 are rotated into the plane of the illustration).
- a bent molded part 2 as a suspension of the ring wing thus comprises three surfaces: two fins 10 and an intermediate piece which follows the cylindrical contour of the IR flare 3.
- the fins At their lower edge, the fins have cutouts 8 for the ejection and ignition unit (not shown) of the IR flare 3.
- the ejection and ignition unit (not shown) of the IR flare 3.
- Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the stabilization unit from ring wing and ring wing suspension in two different representations.
- optional measures for increasing the resistance are shown here. provides the optimization of towing and burning behavior.
- a transverse web 31 can be present on the rear edge of the ring wing (right illustration, top), which is produced in the embodiment shown in that the rear edge is flanged inwards or outwards.
