Abstract

Swivel joints and methods for rotationally coupling an oscillating tip assembly to a hydrodynamic body are presented. A rotating plate configured to couple to the swing tip assembly includes a slide ring including 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 sliding surface, and the inner sliding surface is configured to couple to the fluid dynamic body. A lower joint plate is slidably coupled to the lower surface and the inner sliding surface, and is coupled to the upper joint plate through the center of the opening. The lower joint plate is configured to couple to the hydrodynamic body.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally 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. A longer wingspan can be used to increase aircraft performance, such as lift-drag related efficiency performance. Increasing aircraft wingspan to improve aircraft performance can 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 to fly more efficiently from being used in airports with such airport constraints.
