PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which has a high lift effect by morphing with a simple mechanism, has high performance as a vertical steering face, and can correspond to even a small sized flap.SOLUTION: A main wing 3 of a VTOL aircraft comprises: a wing body 10 having a flap housing part 14 at a rear edge; a flap 20 comprising a morphing wing which can be housed in the flap housing part 14; a rolling mechanism part for rotationally driving a torque tube; and a moving mechanism part for moving the flap 20. The flap 20 has: an outside plate which constitutes a surface of the morphing wing and is deformable; a morphing rib 22 which is located in the morphing wing and holds a deformed state of the outside plate; and the torque tube which is located in a span direction of an internal forward edge of the morphing wing, around of an outer periphery of which the outside plate is wound, and which is rotationally driven thereby changing girth lengths of a wing upper surface part and a wing lower surface part of the outside plate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】シンプルな機構でモーフィングすることで、高揚力効果が高く、かつ、操縦舵面としての性能も高く、更に小型フラップにも対応可能な装置を提供する。【解決手段】VTOL機の主翼3が、後縁にフラップ収納部14を有する翼本体10と、フラップ収納部14に収納可能とされたフラップ20であって、モーフィング翼の表面を構成する変形可能な外板と、モーフィング翼の内部に配置され、外板の変形状態を保持するモーフィングリブ22と、モーフィング翼の内部前縁のスパン方向に配置され、かつ、外周に外板が巻き付き、回転駆動されることで外板の翼上面部及び外板の翼下面部のガース長を変化させるトルクチューブとを有するモーフィング翼からなるフラップ20と、トルクチューブを回転駆動するための回転機構部と、フラップ20を移動するための移動機構部とを有する。【選択図】図5
