Abstract: A micro air vehicle having a bendable wing enabling the micro air vehicle to fly. The bendable wing may be bent downwards so that the wingspan may be reduced for storing the micro air vehicle. The bendable wing may be formed from one or more layers of material, and the wing may have a camber such that a concave surface of the wing faces downward. The wing may substantially resist flexing upwards and may transfer uplift forces to a central body of the micro air vehicle. In addition, the wing may be bent severely downwards by applying a force to tips of the wing. The micro air vehicle is capable of being stored in a small cylindrical tube and may be deployed from the tube by simply releasing the micro air vehicle from the tube.

Abstract: A flyer assembly is adapted for launching with, transit in, and deployment from an artillery shell having a central void region extending along a ballistic shell axis. The flyer assembly includes a jettisonable shroud and a flyer. The shroud extends along a shroud axis, and is positionable within the central void region with the shroud axis substantially parallel to the shell axis. The flyer is adapted to withstand a launch acceleration force along a flyer axis when in a first state, and to effect aerodynamic flight when in a second state. When in the first state, the flyer is positionable within the shroud with the flyer axis parallel to the shroud axis and the shell axis. The flyer includes a body member disposed about the flyer axis, and a foldable wing assembly mounted to the body member. The wing assembly is configurable in a folded state characterized by a plurality of nested wing segments when the flyer is in the first state. The wing assembly is configurable in an unfolded state characterized by a substantially uninterrupted aerodynamic surface when the flyer is in the second state. The flyer assembly is adapted to be launched from a ballistic delivery system such as an artillery cannon, and can thus reach a target quickly, without expending system energy stored within the flyer. During launch, the flyer is coupled to the shroud so as to maintain a portion of the flyer in tension during an acceleration of the flyer along the flyer axis resulting from the launch. The flyer assembly is adapted to withstand the high g-load an high temperature environments of a cannon launch, and can tolerate a set-back g load of about 16,000 g.
Abstract translation: 飞行器组件适用于从具有沿弹道壳轴线延伸的中心空隙区域的炮弹发射,转移和展开。 传单组件包括可喷射的护罩和传单。 护罩沿护罩轴线延伸,并且可定位在中心空隙区域内,护罩轴线基本上平行于外壳轴线。 飞行器适于在处于第一状态时承受沿飞行器轴的发射加速力,并且在处于第二状态时实现空气动力学飞行。 当处于第一状态时,传单可定位在护罩内,飞翼轴线平行于护罩轴线和外壳轴线。 传单包括围绕飞翼轴设置的主体部件和安装到主体部件的可折叠翼组件。 机翼组件可配置成折叠状态,其特征在于当传单处于第一状态时由多个嵌套翼段组成。 机翼组件可配置为展开状态,其特征在于当传单处于第二状态时基本上不间断的空气动力学表面。 飞行器组件适于从诸如炮兵炮的弹道传送系统发射,并且因此可以快速到达目标,而不会消耗存储在飞行物内的系统能量。 在发射期间,传单联接到护罩上,以便在飞行物沿着由发射引起的飞翼轴的加速期间,使传单的一部分保持张紧。 飞行器组件适于承受大炮发射的高温环境的高负载,并且可以承受大约16,000g的安装载荷。
