Air-Flow Influencers TRIZ Cases
- Landing Gear Door Segmentation for Wake Noise Reduction
Segmented landing gear door minimizes wake impingement on aerodynamic surfaces, reducing interaction noise by 2-5 dB.
- Rotorcraft Fairing Truncated Waterdrop Profile Hump
A rotorcraft fairing features a truncated waterdrop profile with a transverse hump and relief projections to guide airflow.
- Truncated Flap Support Fairings with Active Flow Control
Truncated flap support fairings employ active flow control nozzles to eject high velocity air, reducing drag and weight while avoiding engine exhaust heat.
- Aircraft Display Trend Data Visualization
Linear scale visualization of historical sensor readings reduces pilot observation time and cognitive workload during critical flight operations.
- Airfoil Shaft Fairing for Coaxial Rotor Drag Reduction
A shaft fairing with a 20 to 45 percent thickness ratio reduces aerodynamic drag by preventing flow separation around the interconnecting assembly.
- Tape Spring Arms for Collapsible Aerial Vehicle Rotor Deployment
Collapsible tape spring arms transition between contracted and extended states to position rotors radially outward from the main body.
- Coaxial Rotor Hub Fairing Drag Reduction
Airfoil-shaped shaft fairing aligns wakes between upper and lower hubs to reduce aerodynamic drag on counter-rotating coaxial rotors.
- Plate Member for Rotor Shaft Fairing Drag Reduction
A plate member mounted to a rotor shaft fairing increases the aspect ratio of the structure.
