An aircraft having a variable geometry for adapting the flight characteristics to different flight situations includes a fuselage with a pair of wings projecting on both sides of the fuselage in the transverse direction (y), each of which wings has an inner wing section arranged stationarily with respect to the fuselage and an outer wing section adjacent thereto and pivotable about a pivot axis. The pivot axis is oriented in a direction deviating from the longitudinal direction (x) of the aircraft by a maximum of 40°.

A turbomachine assembly comprising: an annular compression section; a casing formed by an outer annular shell (204) and an inner annular shell (206) secured inside the outer shell by means of a plurality of radial support arms (208); an annular combustion section housed inside the casing; and an annular turbine section. The air coming from the compression section presents rotary motion with an angle of inclination relative to a longitudinal axis (X-X) of the turbomachine, and the combustion section includes angular distribution means for determining air flow direction so as to impart on the gas leaving the combustion section rotary motion with an angle of inclination that is equal to or greater than the angle of inclination of the air leaving the compression section, said angular distribution means being formed by the support arms (208), each of which presents an angle of inclination relative to the longitudinal axis (X-X) of the turbomachine that is greater than or equal to the angle of inclination of the air leaving the compression section.

Aerodynamic forces contribute to disk and actuator vibration leading to track positioning errors in storage devices such as hard disk drives. The invention provides a variety of dampening mechanisms and a method of dampening to alleviate these problems in single disk storage devices. This includes disk drives of at most 13 millimeters in height.

A remote controlled hovering toy figure having a propulsion system, a control system, a winged body, and a wing actuation assembly. The winged body is mounted to the propulsion system, which is controlled by the control system. The wing actuation assembly is mounted to the winged body, and the wing actuation assembly is powered by the control system. The wing actuation assembly drives the wings in an oscillating flapping motion. The wings comprise apertures permitting air to pass through the wing, thus reducing the aerodynamic effect of the flapping motion. In this manner, the wings produce a softened “bouncing” flight action, thus creating a realistic flight motion. In another embodiment, the propulsion system comprises one or more rotors in a coaxial arrangement, and a rotor mast housing in the shape of a rider riding the hovering toy figure.

The invention relates to an outer wind shield for a vehicle. The outer wind shield is characterized in that a guide groove is arranged at the vehicle bottom position of the outer wind shield, thus guide space of air flow can be increased, and the influence on the outer wind shield due to air flow disturbance at the vehicle bottom can be improved; a protecting steel sleeve is added at the installation hole position of the outer wind shield, thus the stress concentration on rubber due to installation threads can be reduced, the stressed area of an installation hole can be increased, the stress distribution situation of the installation hole can be improved, and the anti-bending performance of the outer wind shield can be increased through the supporting of the protecting steel sleeve; and a certain inwards-inclined angle exists between a wing plate of the outer wing shield and a vehicle body direction, thus pressure difference at two sides of the outer wind shield can be reduced, the eversion aerodynamic force suffered by the outer wind shield can be reduced, the air flow environment of the whole outer wind shield can be improved, the inwards-inclined angle is not less than 2 degrees, and the force distribution of the air flow on the outer wind shield can be more facilitated. According to the outer wind shield disclosed by the invention, through the improvement, the defect that the outer wind shield is in eversion or avulsion when a train is in high-speed running can be overcome, the service life of the outer wind shield is prolonged, and the replacing and repairing cost can be reduced.

The invention relates to a turbomachine combustion chamber having an inner wall, an outer wall surrounding the inner wall so as to co-operate therewith to define a space forming a combustion area, a transverse wall interconnecting the inner and outer walls, and fuel injection systems. The inner wall has a plurality of inner steps each extending radially towards the outside of the inner wall, the circumferential spacing between two adjacent inner steps defining an inner cavity. The outer wall includes a plurality of outer steps each extending radially towards the inside of the outer wall, the circumferential spacing between two adjacent inner steps defining an outer cavity. At least some of the inner and outer cavities are fed with air from outside the combustion chamber in a common direction that is circumferential, and with fuel in a direction that is radial.

An axial-flow fan structure is disclosed, having a localized area expansion between the rotor (i.e. front rotating impeller) and stator blades (i.e. rear stationary or fixed blades, sometimes called de-swirl vanes). The area expansion is provided by utilizing an impeller having a (slightly) falling tip contour (FTC).

A hovering toy creature having a propulsion system, a control system, a winged body, and a wing actuation assembly. The winged body is mounted to the propulsion system, which is controlled by the control system. The wing actuation assembly is mounted to the winged body, and the wing actuation assembly is powered by the control system. The wing actuation assembly drives the wings in an oscillating flapping motion. The wings comprise apertures permitting air passage through the wing, thus reducing the aerodynamic effect of the flapping motion. In this manner, the wings produce a “bouncing” flight action, thus creating a realistic flight motion. In another embodiment, the propulsion system comprises one or more rotors in a coaxial arrangement. The hovering toy creature is operated by either a wireless control device or a timer device.

A high-speed train wake passive control method, the steps are as follows: through theoretical analysis or numerical simulation or wind tunnel experiment method to find out the area where flow separation occurs on the surface of the tail car; set array pits on the flow separation area of ​​the tail car to form Non-smooth surface: By establishing the CAD model of the high-speed train under the non-smooth surface parameters, the CFD method is used to simulate the flow field in the wake area of ​​the high-speed train, and finally determine the optimal non-smooth surface parameters of the above pits. The invention has the characteristics of improving the vortex structure at the tail of the train, slowing down the vortex motion of the wake, reducing the pressure difference resistance of the whole vehicle, improving the running stability of the train, etc., and has deep theoretical guiding significance and practical promotion value.
