SMALL-SIZED UNMANNED FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B64C1/30 B64C3/56 

FIELD: aeronautical engineering; unmanned flying vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: proposed small-sized unmanned flying vehicle has fuselage and aerodynamic surfaces including folding wing mounted on fuselage and horizontal and vertical tails connected with it for turning and locking in required position. Wing has two outer panels; each panel has parting surface in root section and is made in form of root and tip sections which are interconnected for folding their surfaces to each other by means of attachment unit fitted with retainer of mutual position of root and tip sections and feathering hinge. Root section of outer wing panel is connected with fuselage for folding it together with tip section connected to it downward and turning it backward for folding along fuselage for stowed position of flying vehicle. Root section of outer wing panel is connected with fuselage by means of attachment unit fitted with retainer for locking the root section of outer wing panel in required position and one-axis hinge. Horizontal tail is made in form of two outer wing panels; each panel is connected with vertical tail for folding along vertical tail by means of its attachment unit which is fitted with retainer for locking the outer panel of horizontal tail in required position and feathering hinge.

EFFECT: reduction of overall dimensions of flying vehicle in folded position.
