Abstract
A high-lift system of an aircraft has at least one drive unit, at least one load station as well as one or more transmissions for transmitting the drive energy of the drive unit to the at least one load station. One or more of the transmissions are made as transmission shafts from a material containing titanium or include a material containing titanium.
Claims27
A high-lift system of an aircraft having
- at least one drive unit, having
- at least one load station as well as having
- one or more transmissions for transmitting the drive energy of the drive unit to the at least one load station, wherein
- one or more of the transmissions are made as transmission shafts which comprise a material containing titanium and having a Young's modulus in the region of 100 to 120 GPa and/or a shear modulus in the range from 39 GPa to 42 Gpa, and
- the transmission shaft (1) is provided with two connector elements (2, 3) on opposite ends thereof, with one connector element (2) in the shape of a flange for releasable connection and the other connector element (3) in the shape of a fork for an integrated gimbal joint (4).
