Variable camber wing — is a design of aircraft wing by V.J. Burnelli that changes the camber of the airfoil (1933), and varies the area and camber of the wing (1937).This is depicted in the figure below. A mechanism moves and rotates the leading and trailing edge to… … Wikipedia
Variable-sweep wing — A Variable sweep wing is an aeroplane wing that may be swept back and then returned to its original position during flight. It allows the aircraft s planform to be modified in flight, and is therefore an example of variable geometry.Typically, a… … Wikipedia
Adaptive Compliant Wing — The Adaptive Compliant Wing is a wing design developed by FlexSys, Inc. which is flexible so that its shape can be changed in flight.The wing design features a variable camber trailing edge which can be deflected up to +/ 10°, so that it acts… … Wikipedia
Parker Variable Wing — The Parker Variable Wing is a wing configuration in biplane or triplane aircraft designed by H.F. Parker in 1920 [ The Parker variable wing , NACA Report 77 , 1920] . His design allows a supplement in lift while landing or taking off.The system… … Wikipedia
reflex wing — A wing section used to produced a stable all wing aircraft. This wing section is used mainly on hang gliders and microlight aircraft. A reflex wing has a reflex camber (i.e., a wing in which the mean chord line curves upward toward the trailing… … Aviation dictionary
Variable-incidence wing — A variable incidence wing has an adjustable angle of incidence in order to reduce landing and take off distances. It was patented on March 20, 1912 (patent #444010) in Paris by Bulgarian inventor Georgi Bojinov.The necessary components add extra… … Wikipedia
