Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aircraft, and is used for sealing the gap between the stabilizer and the movable rudder in the wing of the aircraft, and relates to a sealing strip used for sealing between the rudder and the stabilizer. Background Art

[0002] The wing surface of an aircraft includes the horizontal tail, vertical tail, and wing, which contains a fixed stabilizer and a movable rudder. There is a gap between the stabilizer and the rudder. If this gap is not sealed, it will seriously affect the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing surface and reduce the performance of the aircraft. Therefore, sealing this gap is one of the key contents in wing surface design.

[0003] The movable control surfaces of the wing include flaps, sub-flaps, ailerons, etc. The sealing of the gap between the wing stabilizer and the movable control surfaces mainly affects the lift of the aircraft; the movable control surfaces of the horizontal tail include the elevator, and the sealing between the horizontal tail stabilizer and the elevator affects the control surface efficiency of the elevator and affects the pitch performance; the movable control surfaces of the vertical tail include the rudder, and the sealing between the vertical tail stabilizer and the rudder affects the control surface efficiency of the rudder and affects the heading adjustment performance; the sealing at any position has a great influence on the performance of the aircraft. Generally, the stabilizer and the movable control surfaces are sealed with sealing strips, but most of the existing solutions use a single-point sealing solution to design the sealing strip, which has a poor sealing effect on the gap and is not easy to assemble.
