Abstract
A rotary wing device has a circular stabilizer disc and, secured normally thereto, a bilaterally symmetrical wing member having a first symmetry axis intersecting the center of the stabilizer disc. The ends of the wing member at the first symmetry axis are connected through pin connections to a string harness whereby the device functions as a kite when the wing member rotates about the first symmetry axis. At least one guy wire connects the frame of the stabilizer disc to the frame of the wing member in each quadrant of the device. The same device may function in free flight without the string harness. The device preferably is fabricated from rod or tube frames covered with plastic films.
Claims12
A rotary wing device having
- a flat circular stabilizer disc with a slot along a diameter thereof;
- a flat wing member extending through the said slot and having bilateral symmetry about a first symmetry axis which is perpendicular to the plane of the said stabilizer disc and which passes through the center thereof, and also having bilateral symmetry about a second symmetry axis which is perpendicular to the said first symmetry axis and which coincides with the said slot;
- said stabilizer disc and said flat wing member each comprising a thin, lightweight rod or tubing peripheral frame covered with a lightweight membrane;
- at least one guy wire connecting the frame of the said stabilizer disc to the frame of the said wing member in each quadrant of the device, each said guy wire functioning to transfer stresses from the frame of the said stabilizer disc to the frame of the said flat wing member.
