Influencers By Generating Vortices TRIZ Cases
- Folding Wing Tip Fairing with Concave Rear Surface
Concave rear fairing geometry eliminates stagnation points at the hinge junction, reducing lift loss and drag on folding wing tips.
- Integrated Structural Health Monitoring and Morphing System
Autonomously detects damage and calculates operational loads to adapt structure geometry, eliminating manual inspection delays.
- Solar UAV Wing Tip Tails for Drag Reduction and Mass Relief
Trailing tip tails in the upwash field relieve torsional loads, reducing mainplane mass while enhancing lift and thrust.
- Passive Vortex Generator Deployment via Airfoil Pressure Differential
A piston housed in an airfoil structure moves a vortex generator between stowed and deployed positions using aerodynamic pressure differentials.
- Aircraft Hinge Fairing with Bell-Shaped Leading Edge Profile
Bell-shaped fairing blends into the wing leading edge to cover the hinge mechanism, reducing lift loss and drag from aerodynamic discontinuities.
- Winglet Connection Structure Using Shearing Pins for Precise Alignment
A winglet connection structure uses shearing pins and bushings to establish a natural positioning datum for precise assembly.
- Curved Aircraft Winglet Induced Drag Reduction
A curved aircraft winglet design reduces induced drag through optimized radius transitions.
- Vortex Generator Vane for Drag Reduction on Aircraft Fuselage
A vortex generator vane creates counteracting vortices to reduce drag on an upswept aircraft fuselage afterbody.
- Dual Winglet Configuration for Drag Reduction and Lift Enhancement
Segmented winglets with distinct dihedral angles manage tip vortices to minimize drag while preserving the lifting effect.
- Retractable Wingtip Vortex Generators for Induced Drag Reduction
A retractable aerofoil device on wing edges decomposes strong tip vortices into smaller bundles to reduce induced drag.
- Multi-mode Aerial Vehicle Tilt-Wing Tri-Ducted Fan Design
Segmented lifting function and dynamic tilt wings resolve fuel consumption trade-offs while improving vertical take-off safety.
- Aircraft Propulsion Contrail Control via Air-Water Ratio
Sensors detect conditions for contrail formation while a controller adjusts the air-to-water mass flow ratio to suppress trails without adding weight.
- Krueger Flap Bullnose Contour Variation for Aerodynamic Adaptation
Movable bullnose protuberances adapt airflow patterns to boost lift at low speeds while retracting to minimize cruise drag and noise.
