  • Patent number: 12252246
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wing assembly, the wing assembly defining a direction of flow with respect to which the wing assembly is configured to create lift for an aircraft, comprising a main section configured to be mounted to a fuselage to extend from the fuselage in an extension direction of the wing; and a plurality of flap sections each with a body part, which are mounted to the main section in a pivotable manner to be individually pivotable around a pivot axis over a range of angular orientations including a horizontal orientation in which the body part of the flap section is substantially aligned with the main section to form an elongate and substantially continuous cross-section; and a vertical orientation in which the flap section is angled downwards with respect to the main section. An aircraft equipped with at least one pair of such wing assemblies is also described.

  • Patent number: 12172750
    Abstract: The present invention provides an engine of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, wherein the engine is configured to be movable with respect to an aircraft component of the aircraft between a hover position for take-off and landing, and a cruise position for forward flight, wherein the engine comprises an aerodynamic component having at least one aerodynamic element movable between a first position and a second position the aerodynamic element defining an aerodynamic surface in contact with an airstream passing through the engine.

  • Publication number: 20220266979
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wing assembly (10) for an aircraft with a fuselage and at least one pair of wings, the wing assembly (10) defining a direction of flow (F) with respect to which the wing assembly (10) is configured to create lift for the aircraft, comprising a main section (12), which is configured to be mounted to the fuselage in a fixed manner so as to extend from the fuselage in an extension direction of the wing; and a plurality of flap sections (14) each with a body part (16), which are mounted to the main section (12) in a pivotable manner so as to be individually pivotable around a pivot axis (A) by means of a pivoting means (18) over a range of angular orientations including a horizontal orientation in which the body part (16) of the flap section (14) is substantially aligned with the main section (12) to form an elongate and substantially continuous cross-section; and a vertical orientation in which the flap section (14) is angled downwards with respect to the main section (12).
