Abstract: A Variable Geometry Remotely Piloted Vehicle (VG-RPV) has a main fuselage portion supporting at one end main wing panels and a forward fuselage portion. In the stowed position, the main wings and forward fuselage portion are laterally adjacent the main fuselage. This provides compact volume of small dimensions for stowage inside a canister. When deployed for flight, the wings are inclined at a large angle to the main fuselage, and a fuselage forebody is positioned upstream of the main fuselage, to establish a vehicle center of gravity adjacent to the deployed wings. Folding panels are mounted on chordwise hinges at the tip of the main wing panels. These panels overlap the main wing panels in the stowed configuration, inside the canister or on deck, and extend the span and area of the deployed main panels in the flight configuration. In-flight deployment is provided to launch the VG-RPV with a reduced span and area with the folding panels placed under the main panels. After launch, but prior to slow speed flight, aerodynamic in-flight deployment of the folding panels is aided with trailing tabs on the folding panels.
Abstract translation: 可变几何遥控牵引车(VG-RPV)具有主机架主体部分,主机翼部分和前机身部分支撑。 在收起位置上,主翼和前机身部分横向邻近主机身。 这提供了小尺寸的小尺寸用于在罐内的装载。 当部署为飞行时,机翼与主机身倾斜大角度,并且机身前体位于主机身的上游,以建立与展开机翼相邻的车辆重心。 折叠板安装在主翼板顶端的弦向铰链上。 这些面板与收起的结构中的主翼板重叠,在罐内或甲板上,并且在飞行配置中延伸部署的主面板的跨度和面积。 提供飞行部署以发射具有减小的跨度和面积的VG-RPV,折叠面板放置在主面板下方。 在发射后,但在慢速飞行之前,折叠板的空气动力学飞行中部署有助于折叠板上的拖尾。
