AERODYNAMICALLY CONTROLLED APPARATUS FOR HIGH-SPEED DESCENDING FROM MOUNTAINS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: sports equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has monoslide, heeling creating surfaces and vertical and horizontal stabilizers. Heeling creating surfaces are arranged in vertical position. Apparatus is further provided with horizontal surfaces which, in conjunction with vertical surfaces, are adapted for changing support reaction during advancement in contact with surface over which mountain-skier is to descend, and for correcting ballistic curve in pitching and yawing planes, when mountain-skier separates from descending surface. Apparatus has single controller for simultaneously changing angle of attack of main surfaces and of stabilizer in horizontal and vertical planes, for controlling attachments and connectors for assembling and disassembling without tools. EFFECT: simplified construction and enhanced reliability in operation. 7 dwg
