AIRCRAFT WITH FOLDING WING AND DEVICE FOR AIRCRAFT WING FOLDING Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B64C3/56 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft with folding wings and can be used in design of transport facilities for traveling over air or ground. Aircraft with folded wing contains cockpit, propulsion unit with pushing airscrew, fins installed in tail-end of aircraft, wheel landing gear, centre wing, pivotally connected with it outer wings, fixing locks. Connection of the outer wings with centre wing is executed with possibility to turn them up-back relative to axes located in horizontal plane and divergent at an angle 35°-55° to aircraft longitudinal axis from the front part of aircraft to its rear part, and their installation along aircraft with their front edge up and towards aircraft symmetry plane. Outer wings in folded position are fixed with struts fixed on tail-end of aircraft. Device for aircraft wing folding.

EFFECT: simplicity of aircraft wing folding, decrease in its lateral dimension, rigidity and outer wings holding strength with decreasing loads in assembly units in flight configuration and in folded condition.
