Abstract
Disclosed herein is a rib structure, which has a variable design with nature imitation not increasing the weight of the air vehicle, is provided with articulation via the rear spar rotation, and causes no increase in the weight. Also disclosed herein is an air vehicle having a rib structure with fishbone imitation, which minimizes the system weight, provides the application zone flexibility, provides the direction and control authority, and minimizes the cost.
Claims12
A rib used to direct vehicles with a body, wing, tail and motor structure, in order to provide the articulation without weight increase, the rib comprising:
- at least one rib, which is positioned into the wing and has a one-piece structure that decreases in size in the form of a triangle towards one end thereof,
- a rib rear portion, which extends from a start of the second zone (K) of the rib towards an end of rib rear portion (M) by decreasing in size,
- at least one front spar, which is configured as a load-bearing structural member,
- at least one second hole, with which the front spar is connected,
- at least one rear spar, which realizes the articulation and has a motor connection,
- at least one first hole, with which the rear spar is connected,
- at least one first zone, which is positioned between the first hole and an end of first zone (L), and
- at least one second zone, which is positioned between the first hole and the start of the second zone (K).
