Panneau hydrodynamique. Panneau de chalut à grand allongement vertical et à profil creux, employé principalement pour la pêche pélagique. Des panneaux similaires, mais avec un allongement un peu plus faible et munis d'une semelle renforcée, peuvent être utilisés pour le chalutage de fond (panneaux japonais, par exemple).

Record 3 1998-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The X-wing has emerged from the circulation controlled rotor(CCR) in which a hollow blade of roughly oval aerofoil section, that is, without a real lifting profile at all, can be made to lift effectively by blowing a layer of air through a slot and across the curved Coanda surface which forms the trailing-edge. While this in itself produces lift, the air jet can be so modulated as the rotor turns that it has the same effect as the cyclic pitch changing of the normal rotor. Finally, a further jet can be blown through a second slot near the leading-edge of the blade so that it restores the lost lift of the retreating blade. This fore-and-aft blowing is the key to the stopped-rotor X-wing.
