FIELD: aeronautics.
SUBSTANCE: wing-fold mechanism provides a means by which to reconfigure the wing of an aircraft between a flight configuration and a configuration that can be easily stowed and transported. Folding mechanism includes an extension tube that enables the outboard portion of the wing to be extended away from the inboard section of the wing, rotated about the lateral axis of the aircraft, and then pivoted rearward so that the wing is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft alongside the fuselage. Wing-fold mechanism is independent of the structural components of the wing used to convey aerodynamic loads during flight. Also disclosed are a foldable wing of an aircraft and a system for transforming the wing from a configuration adapted for transportation to a flight configuration. It is also possible to bring the outboard wing section into a near alignment position, after which the wing-fold mechanism assists to refine the alignment into its final flight configuration.
EFFECT: group of inventions aimed at simplifying the design.
