PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a foldable wing which compatibly enables higher aerodynamic efficiency and dimensional restriction without incurring increase in weight.SOLUTION: The foldable wing 310 includes a foldable section 320 that is hinged to a fixed section 330 via a hinge assembly 340. The foldable section 320 includes a front spar 322 and a rear spar 324 extending in a wing spanwise direction, and a closeout rib 326 extending in a wing chordwise direction. The fixed section 330 includes a front spar 332 and a rear spar 334 extending in a wing spanwise direction, and a closeout rib 336 extending in a wing chordwise direction. A hinge assembly 340 includes interleaved torque boxes 341-345 that are hinged together. First, third, and fifth torque boxes 341, 343 and 345 extend in a wing spanwise direction from the closeout rib 336 of the fixed section 330. Second and fourth torque boxes 342 and 344 extend in a wing spanwise direction from the closeout rib 326 of the foldable section 320.

    【課題】空力的な高効率と寸法制限を両立し、且つ重量増加招かない折り畳み可能翼を提供する。【解決手段】折り畳み可能な翼310は、ヒンジアセンブリ340を介して固定された区分330と、ヒンジで連結された折り畳み可能な区分320とを備える。折り畳み可能な区分320は、翼長方向に延びる前方スパー322と後方スパー324と、翼弦方向に延びる閉止リブ326とを含む。固定された区分330は、翼長方向に延びる前方スパー332と後方スパー334と、翼弦方向に延びる閉止リブ336とを含む。ヒンジアセンブリ340は、ヒンジで連結された交互に配置されたトルクボックス341〜345を含む。第1、第3、及び第5トルクボックス341、343、及び345は、固定された区分330の閉止リブ336から翼長方向に延びる。第2及び第4トルクボックス342及び344は、折り畳み可能な区分320の閉止リブ326から翼長方向に延びる。【選択図】図3
