Title: Air guiding flap of an aircraft comprising control of the pressure forces impinging thereon, process for adjusting the position of an air guiding flap and ram air system includingsuch an air guiding flap
Inventor: SCHMIDT RUEDIGER
IPC: B64D33/04
Filed: 2004-12-30
Granted: 2010-09-21
Abstract: The invention relates to an air guiding flap of an aircraft wherein one surface (28) thereof faces an air duct and is exposed to a prevailing pressure in the air duct and whose opposite surface (30) is exposed to the pressure of the relative wind flowing past the aircraft. The air guiding flap comprises an actuator (34) for automatically opening and closing the air guiding flap which actuator (34) cooperates with a device for controlling the position of the air guiding flap. In order to keep the stress on the air guiding flap low a force detecting device (36) is provided which detects the force impinging on the actuator (34) based on a difference between the prevailing pressure in the air duct and the pressure of the relative wind flowing past the aircraft. The controlling device adjusts the position of the air guiding flap such that the force impinging on the actuator (34) at any one time is at least essentially zero.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme de transmission pour un véhicule à moteur, comprenant deux transmissions à variation continue desservant les roues de gauche et droite du véhicule avec des rapports de vitesse pouvant varier de manière individuelle. Chaque transmission comprend un variateur du type comprenant l'application d'un couple net à travers son entrée et sa sortie, ce couple étant reporté sur un élément de régulation du rapport de démultiplication, qui peut se présenter comme un levier de commande dont la position régit le rapport de démultiplication de la transmission. Les éléments de commande des variateurs sont chacun couplés de manière fonctionnelle à la commande de vitesse du conducteur, de telle manière que la commande de vitesse détermine la position moyenne des éléments de commande. Cependant, chacun des deux éléments de commande est capable de se déplacer par rapport à cette position moyenne, sous l'effet du couple de réaction produit. Les éléments de commande sont en outre couplés mutuellement de telle manière qu'un déplacement quelconque de l'élément de commande par rapport à la position moyenne s'accompagne d'un déplacement opposé de l'autre élément de commande. De cette manière les transmissions sont automatiquement commandées par les vitesses relatives des roues du véhicule de manière à réduire voire à supprimer le dérapage des roues, tout en permettant au conducteur de commander la vitesse de déplacement du véhicule.
