Title: Aircraft wing roughness strip
Inventor: STEPHEN ROLSTON
IPC: B64C23/06
Filed: 2016-03-03
Abstract: An aircraft (e.g. transonic, unmanned) has a wing 3 defining upper 14 and lower 15 geometric surfaces meeting at the intersection with the airfoil chord 13. The aerofoil defines upper 19 and lower 20 aerodynamic surfaces meeting at the intersection with stagnation (attachment) line dividing airflow over upper and lower aerodynamic surfaces. The lower geometric surface adjacent the leading edge 11 has a roughness strip 22 with a step height of at least 50 microns (μm). The stagnation point moves downstream along the lower geometric surface with increasing lift through incidence to onset flow (angle of attack) and hence the roughness strip is on the lower aerodynamic wing surface when the aircraft flies at a load factor of 1g (e.g. cruise), but the step is located on the upper aerodynamic surface when the lift to weight ratio increases to 1.2g or more (e.g. during a dive, gust, buffet, manoeuvre). The step may trip a laminar boundary layer to become turbulent, causing predictable interaction with a shockwave 21. The step may be a groove, applique, tape, paint coat strip, joint, fasteners, zig-zaged or straight, continuous or broken line.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a transceiver 1903 and an antenna array 1907 with at least two elements 1907a-d. A bi-directional beamforming subsystem 1915 forms antenna lobes for both transmit and receive signal paths by applying weightings to RF signals in response to commands incorporated within digital streams 1902a steers the beam. The beamforming system may incorporate transmit/receive switches 1909, 1910, power amplifiers 1911 and low noise amplifiers 1912. Attenuators 1908 may be used to vary the amplitude and thus the weighting of each output from splitter 1906 to vary the pointing angle of the resultant beam whilst beamforming circuits 1913, such a Butler matrix, may vary the amplitude or phase tapers of the antenna array. The antenna array may be formed of multiple sub arrays, all independently steerable, with boresight angles offset from each-other. Transmit signals may be split into four separate, individually weighted signals of equal amplitude. Signal strength, quality or data transfer capability may be used to determine a direction in which to steer the antenna lobe. The system may use time division multiplexing (TDM).
