Textile airfoil structure for a wing system, and transport device

Abstract

A wing system includes an aerodynamic wing structure which is stowable. The wing structure which can be rolled up and/or folded, including at least one pressure-tight tubular pressure chamber which is made of a flexible material and extends preferably along the wingspan of the wing structure. A tear-resistant outer skin fabric encases the wing structure. The pressure chamber of the wing structure can be filled with a fluid, and the wing system includes a high-pressure pump system. The fluid is kept in the pressure chamber under high pressure, such as over 50 bar, over 100 bar, or over 150 bar. A transport device is for use as an aircraft for traveling in the air and as a vehicle for traveling on land. The transport device includes the wing system, with the wing system being attached preferably to the upper face of the transport device.
