Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter geeignet zum Abwerten aus Flugzeugen, wobei er durch eine Rotationsbewegung mit erheblich reduzierter Fallgeschwindigkeit zu Boden fällt.The invention relates to a container suitable for devaluation from aircraft, wherein by a rotational movement with a significantly reduced fall speed Floor falls.
Die Versorgung von Krisengebieten aus der Luft erfolgt mittels großer Sammelbehälter am Fallschirm. Dies hat den Nachteil der örtlich konzentrierten Versorgung und andererseits des Verlustes des Fallschirms.The supply of crisis areas from the air takes place by means of large Collection container on the parachute. This has the disadvantage of being locally concentrated Supply and on the other hand the loss of the parachute.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei solchen Versorgungsflügen einerseits auf spezielle Fallschirme verzichten zu können und andererseits eine gezielte Verbreitung der Versorgungsgüter zu erreichen.The invention is based on the object on the one hand in such supply flights to be able to do without special parachutes and, on the other hand, a targeted one To achieve the spread of supplies.
Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß infolge seiner Geometrie der Behälter im freien Fall in eine kontrollierte Rotation gezwungen wird, die nur eine begrenzte Fallgeschwindigkeit zulässt. Außerdem kann die Abwurfhöhe geringer sein als bei Fallschirmen, da der Höhenvorlauf für den Entfaltungsvorgang entfällt. Ferner gestattet die Außenkontur des Rotationsbehälters seine vielzahlige Stapelbarkeit in Gebinden, die beim Abwurf aufgelöst werden und im Flugzeug verbleiben.The main advantage of the invention is that due to its geometry Free fall container is forced into a controlled rotation, which is only one allows limited falling speed. The discharge height can also be lower than with parachutes because the height advance for the unfolding process is omitted. Furthermore, the outer contour of the rotary container allows it to be varied Stackability in containers that are released when dropped and on the plane remain.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.
Ein Rotationsbehälter besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei aneinander fixierbaren Teilen, dem Deckel 1 mit einem oder mehreren festen oder schwenkbaren Flügeln und der Ballastkammer 2 als Nutzlastträger.A rotary container essentially consists of two parts that can be fixed to each other, the cover 1 with one or more fixed or pivotable wings and the ballast chamber 2 as a payload carrier.
Im gezeichneten Beispiel sind zwei Flügel am Deckel angeordnet, die durch ihren negativen Anstellwinkel im freien Fall eine schraubenförmige Bahn beschreiben und so den ganzen Behälter einerseits stabilisieren und andererseits gebremst fallen lassen. Der darunter angeordnete Nutzlastträger sorgt durch seinen tiefliegenden Schwerpunkt dafür, daß der gesamte Behälter mit Flügeldeckel eine definierte Fluglage einnimmt.In the example shown, two wings are arranged on the lid, which by their describe a negative helix angle in free fall and stabilize the entire container on the one hand and fall on the other hand when braking to let. The payload carrier arranged underneath provides for its low-lying Emphasis on ensuring that the entire container with a wing lid defined one Attitude.
Durch Abstimmung der Nutzlast mit der Flügelsteigung kann eine vorbestimmte Fallgeschwindigkeit erreicht werden. Die Verwendung von billig produzierbaren Materalien wie z. B. Polystyrolschäumen erlaubt eine verletzungsfreie Anwendung. By matching the payload with the wing pitch, a predetermined one Fall speed can be achieved. The use of cheap to produce Materials such as B. polystyrene foams allow injury-free application.
Weitere denkbare Anwendungen:
Other conceivable applications:
- 1. 1.) Ausführung als schwimmfähiger Behälter, welcher als Rettungsboot oder Rettungsinsel für Schiffbrüchige oder Überbordgegangene dient. Vorteil gegenüber einer mit Fallschirm abgeworfenen Rettungsinsel: einerseits kann kein Fallschirm den Ertrinkenden abdecken und ihn unter Wasser drücken und andererseits wäre diese Lösung deutlich billiger.1. 1.) Execution as a buoyant container, which as a lifeboat or Liferaft serves for shipwrecked or overboard. advantage compared to a life raft dropped by parachute: on the one hand can no parachute cover the drowning person and push him under water and on the other hand, this solution would be significantly cheaper.
- 2. 2.) Als Raumfahrtanwendung ist eine derartige Gehäusegeometrie denkbar zur kontrollierten Landung einer Sonde auf dem Mars z. B.2. 2.) Such a housing geometry is conceivable as a space application controlled landing of a probe on Mars z. B.
- 3. 3.) Abwurf von Luftpost bei abgelegenen Siedlungen, welche schlecht mit dem Kfz zu erreichen sind.3. 3.) Dropping airmail in remote settlements that are bad with the Can be reached by car.
