RAILWAY CAR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B61D1/00 B61D17/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: in proposed railway car containing trucks (1) with wheel pairs, coupling elements, body (5) with wings attached to it (8) which wings have lifting force when moved in air, wing support elements, wing position control elements, each wing consists of central immovable (10) part and swivelling (11, 12) on axles parts located on each side of it. Swivelling parts and immovable part are made with possibility to form convex upper and flat lower aerodynamic surfaces with slit channels between them. Swivelling part has sharpened edge at the side of incoming/running off air flow, and rounded thickened edge at the side of immovable part. Immovable part has convex edge, and its adjacent swivelling part has concaved edge corresponding to convexity of body roof. Immovable and swivelling parts are installed in wing supporting elements attached to body side walls. The swivelling part is provided with individual swivelling engine.

EFFECT: simplified railway car wings control for lifting force creation and effective aerodynamical braking.
