Abstract

A rotation joint and methods for rotationally coupling a swing tip assembly to a fluid-dynamic body are presented. A rotation plate configured to couple to the swing tip assembly comprises a slide ring comprising an open center, an upper slide surface, an inner slide surface, and a lower slide surface. An upper joint plate is slidably coupled to the upper slide surface and the inner slide surface is configured to couple the fluid-dynamic body. A lower joint plate is slidably coupled to the lower slide surface and the inner slide surface, and is coupled to the upper joint plate through the open center. The lower joint plate is configured to couple to the fluid-dynamic body.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to fluid dynamic design. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the design of variable sweep hydrodynamic bodies. Background technique [0002] Wingspan limitations for commercial aircraft can be driven by airport stand and taxiway size constraints. An extended wingspan can be used to increase aircraft performance, such as lift-drag related efficiency performance. Increasing aircraft wingspan to improve aircraft performance may conflict with airport stand and taxiway size constraints. For example, airport stands and taxiways established for one generation of aircraft may be too small for later generations of aircraft with longer wingspans. Airport constraints may prevent aircraft with larger wingspans from being used in airports with such airport constraints in order to fly more efficiently. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] A rotary joint and method for rotational...
