Structure, wing and aircraft for enhancing vortex surfing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flight instruments, in particular to a structure, a wing and an airplane for strengthening vortex surfing.
Background
The wing tip vortex is a great hazard to air traffic, and when an airplane sails in the air, if the airplane encounters the front wing tip vortex, the airplane can be violently overturned or suddenly dropped, and the influence is more serious particularly in the takeoff and landing stage. But the wing tip vortex is reasonably utilized, so that additional lift can be provided for the rear aircraft. Therefore, a great deal of theoretical research is carried out on the basis of the existing vortex surfing technology, and the principle and the technology of vortex surfing are considered to be introduced into the field of civil aviation.
The wing tip vortex is generated because: the pressure of the lower surface of the wing is larger than that of the upper surface of the wing, lift force is generated, wing tip vortex is generated at the wing tip from the lower part to the upper part, and the wing tip vortex is propagated backwards along with an atmospheric wind field to influence the rear-mounted aircraft. As the wing tip vortex is a ring volume, the washing phenomenon of the wake vortex airflow can be observed by horizontally observing the outer side of the wing tip vortex. The air flow washing can provide additional lifting force for the rear machine, so that the oil consumption of the rear machine is reduced, and the voyage is increased. The existing vortex surfing technical scheme is mainly based on the existing wing structure of an airplane, but cannot actively control the vortex ring amount to increase the additional lift force of an after-machine.
