Air Braking Surfaces TRIZ Cases
- Monolithic Aircraft Structure With Friction Stir Welded Aerodynamic Surfaces
Friction stir welding joins body and cover components into smooth aerodynamic surfaces, cutting aircraft weight, drag, and fastener assembly work.
- Towed Refueling Boom Control for Concurrent In-Flight Refueling
Deployable aerodynamic panels stabilize a towed refueling boom, enabling precise concurrent in-flight refueling of multiple aircraft.
- Deployable Wing Structure for Descent Control in Flying Objects
A forward-deploying wing section increases drag to slow descent and stabilize attitude, then retracts to limit cruise energy use.
