  • Fin stabilizer and watercraft
    Patent number: 9745031
    Abstract: A fin stabilizer for stabilizing a watercraft against rolling movements includes a main fin configured to be pivoted by a watercraft-side fin drive, a tail fin, and an elastically deformable connection between the main fin and the tail fin, the elastically deformable connection being configured to flex whenever a water force acting on the tail fin is greater than a predetermined amount.

  • AERODYNAMIC COMPONENT WITH A DEFORMABLE OUTER SHELL
    Publication number: 20100294893
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aerodynamic component, in particular a wing, a landing flap, a pitch elevator, a yaw rudder, a fin or tail. The aerodynamic component comprises an outer shell and at least one supporting element supporting said outer shell. A drive unit rotates the supporting element. A supporting region is created between the supporting element and the outer shell. The supporting region transfers deformation forces from the drive unit via the supporting element to the outer shell. The supporting element is designed and configured for changing the distance of the supporting region from a longitudinal plane of the aerodynamic component with a rotation of the supporting element. The outer shell comprises an elastic deformation region. The elastic deformation region is elastically deformed by the deformation forces with a rotation of the supporting element.
