Abstract: Flap carriers fold spanwise (about chordwise axes) into the wing but are moved down together through pivotal linkage; the flaps are protracted and retracted through pivoting of the carriers relative to each other on spanwise axes. On retraction, the entire assembly fits into the wing so that the flow determining contour thereof remains undisturbed.

Abstract: In a telescopic arrangement wherein a plurality of telescoped tubes are provided for retraction and protraction; the tubes each include a nut element, said nut element being axially aligned, and means for causing one tube to engage respective outer one, the combination of a first main drive and working spindle onto which the nut elements are threaded to cause protraction and retraction of the respective tube, the nut elements disengaging one by one from the thread of the spindle as the respective next tube is caused to protract and its nut travels on the first spindle; a second nut retention spindle onto which the nuts of those tubes are threaded which are not yet to be extended or which have been retracted; there is a threadfree space between the two spindles to be traversed by that one of the nuts next to be threaded onto the first spindle and prior to that one of the nuts that travels on the first spindle leaving that first spindle; the two spindles are driven in unison but at a particular ratio so that a

Abstract: A helicopter having the usual tiltable, vertical thrust and lift producing rotor, a separate forward thrust producing propeller as well as provisions for yaw control and compensation is improved in that the propeller is constructed as unshrouded propulsion device. A pair of flow deflecting rudders is arranged downstream from the propeller and symmetrically to both sides of the craft; a frame on the tail portion of the craft includes vertical shafts for pivotally mounting the rudders. A T shaped support structure in the frame includes regular elevational, horizontally extending stabilizer fins and carrier arms. An elevator is arranged upstream from the propeller and from one of the elevational stabilizer fins. The elevator reaches laterally beyond and longitudinally alongside the one fin or beyond a circle provided by the propeller.

Abstract: Short light pulses are emitted and images of the reflection from objects are received; the receiving is timed and synchronized to obtain partial images corresponding to reflection from particular ranges; the partial images are then combined in a composite range image.

Abstract: A part or component made of a fiber re-inforced compound and having some hollow or concave portion which is not to be metallized, is provided with a wall extension adjacent the hollow or concave portion not to be metallized, which is closed and sealed off. Prior to metallizing the compound is cleaned, metal is electrolytically deposited on at least some of the outer surface parts of that compound and subsequently, the closure as well as the wall extension is removed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transverse driving body, particularly an aircraft wing, the wing comprising a wing tip extending basic parts of the wing in the span direction for the purpose of increasing the aspect ratio, the wing tip being of triangular design with a sweptback leading edge, and the profile camber of each of the wing tip increasing at least over a portion of the extension thereof from a basic wing part to the wing tip.

Abstract: Selecting of particular image lines for composition of range image such that a composition and evaluation of range image is possible in real time actually corresponds to the imaging of a TV or video camera. The image field is scanned column by column and the contents of the column (all lines) are read in parallel. After digitizing the content of the column, a selection logic selects a particular imaging dot within each of the columns. Using the principles of triangulation, the line position of the dot selected is identified by a multibit binary data word is vertical position in representation of the distance from the camera or the light strip source.
