Telescopic Wing

  telescopic wing         Telescopic Wing Principles
  • Left and Right wing halves consist of six segments each.

  • Each of the wing segments consists of a skin, a rib, and two spar segments.

  • Spar segments alternate between fixed and rotatable configurations.

  • Spar segments interface via recirculating ball bearings.

  • Spars are primary load carrying members.

  • Turning rotatable segments enables automated wing deployment and retraction into the wing middle box.
