The invention provides a fluid propulsion augmentation arrangement and method, capable of also generating control moments (23), providing increased thrust (45) at reduced speed, reduced drag at increased speed, under conditions in which traditional approach cannot provide sufficient performance. It consists of a wing (10) located in a propulsion system (11) fluid intake region (13), having a slanted trailing edge (16) coinciding with a fraction of the propulsion intake (17), pivotally connected (14), allowing position adjustments. At reduced speed, the wing (10) and the propulsion system intake (17) are placed adjacently, the intake low pressure determines wing (10) fluid-dynamic force (44) generation. Increasing speed, wing (10) position varies, following fluid stream (15) convergence change, maintaining an angle of attack for increased L/D, ensuring increased performance, and also varying control moments (23).
A wing for a craft, said craft having a thrust providing device, having an intake fraction and a device for coupling and adjusting, configured for controlling a relative position of said wing and said thrust providing device, said wing comprised of a wing section having a curvature forming substantially a fore-aft oriented channel, said wing section having a trailing edge, said trailing edge substantially coinciding with said intake fraction, and said trailing edge slanted as to allow adjacent placement, at a predetermined angle, of said thrust providing device, whereby to create a variable fluid-dynamic force, thus providing a craft control and augmenting a propulsion parameter.
A device for coupling and adjusting used for altering a control moment and a propulsion parameter of a craft, said craft having a wing, and a thrust providing device, said thrust providing device having an intake, said wing having a trailing edge section, said trailing edge section substantially coinciding with a fraction of said intake, said device for coupling and adjusting comprised of a structure for coupling said wing and said thrust providing device, and means for adjusting relative position of said wing and said thrust providing device.
