Mundus Group, Inc. Announces "Patent Approved" for Its Telescoping Wing Locking System
19 Enero 2011 - 2:00PM
Mundus Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MNDP) has received a patent for the
Telescoping Wing Locking System (Patent No.: US 7,832,690 B1) from
the United States patent Office for the VTOL Roadable Aircraft Int.
division, (RAI). The system enables reliable wing extension and
retraction of a telescoping wing in flight. This novel solution to
wing articulation addresses a significant challenge facing
designers in their effort to offer additional safety features to
RAI. The difficulty encountered with earlier designs was the
inability to reliably retract the deployed wing under operating
loads without reducing clearance tolerances of the mechanism.
Greater clearances between the telescoping wing surfaces had led
to accelerated wear and unacceptable service lives of the wing
assembly. The solution was an electrometric bladder controlled by
an air compressor and valve system. In the inflated mode the
assembly is far stiffer than possible with conventional methods and
the lubricated gasket all but eliminates the erosion issues first
encountered. Once deflated, the retraction functions free of
excessive surface friction thus addressing the risk of retraction
failure.
"The significance of this invention to our designers is
profound. The ability to offer a wing retraction feature will
improve vehicle safety with a much simpler approach than competing
designs that our team has considered. It is important because it
provides lift to the ducted fan's primary Vertical Take Off and
Landing VTOL thrust, once in flight and the telescopic wings allow
forward flight to be more effectively controlled with the
additional safety benefit of being able to glide and land
safely.
In the current AutoDesk Inventor 3D design, the addition of a
canard winglet at the front of the aircraft would prevent stalling
and as this front canard winglet would drop first the craft would
nose dive enough to pick up forward motion and the telescopic wings
would provide lift with airspeed and improved lifting surfaces
stabilize flight control easier," said Keith Field, Mundus Group
Chairman.
RAI plans to revolutionize VTOL "inner space" travel with its
patented configuration utilizing counter rotating propellers within
a ducted fan that are unexposed and thereby allowing take offs and
landings without the inherent danger found in the typical
helicopter propellers of the current technology.
