    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: The present invention relates to a wing arrangement for an aircraft (1), comprising a wing (9) having a base section (11) and a tip section (13) pivotably connected to the base section (11) such that the tip section (13) is pivotable between a deployed position and a stowed position in which the spanwise length of the wing (9) is smaller than in the deployed position. The wing arrangement also has an actuating arrangement (19) including a linear hydraulic actuator (21) coupled between the base section (11) and the tip section (13) such that it is operable to selectively move the tip section (13) between the deployed position and the stowed position, a first and a second hydraulic connection portion (79a, 79b) connected to the linear hydraulic actuator (21) such that they are in fluid communication with different chamber sections (27a, 27b) of a cylinder (25) of the linear hydraulic actuator (21), and a first hydraulic subsystem (81a) and a second hydraulic subsystem (81b), each connected to and branching off the first and second hydraulic connection portions (79a, 79b), and each operable to supply pressurized hydraulic fluid to the first and second hydraulic connection portions (79a, 79b). A first shut-off valve (87a) is located between the first hydraulic subsystem (81a) and the first and second hydraulic connection portions (79a, 79b). The first hydraulic subsystem (81a) comprises a first hydraulic supply (89a) including a first connector assembly (91a) adapted to be connected to a first hydraulic system of an aircraft (1), and the second hydraulic subsystem (81b) comprises a motor (107, 137) and a pump (109, 141), wherein the motor (107, 137) is operable to drive the pump (109, 141) to pump hydraulic fluid contained in the second hydraulic subsystem (81b) to the first and second hydraulic connection portions (79a, 79b).
