Abstract

The glider with bult-in battery recharging equipment requires electricity for electronic equipment and/or to power its controls. To minimise the size of battery needed without restricting flying time, panels of photoelectric cells are mounted in the upper wing surfaces and/or upper part of the fuselage, connected to a charging circuit. The panels have a smooth transparent plastic covering, maintaining the streamlined shaped and avoiding any increase in friction losses. Even for a high-performance glider the panel area required is unlikely to exceed 1550 cm2.

Description

Segelflugzeug Glider

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Segelflugzeug, das mit elektronischen Bordinstrumenten und mit mittels elektrischer, mit einem Akkumulator verbindbaren Servomotoren einstellbaren Steuerhilfen, wie Leitklappen, Vorflügel u.dgl. ausgestattet ist, Segelflugzeuge der zuvor bezeichneten Art benötigen in der Regel Akkumulatoren mit einer relativ grossen Kapazität, um genügend Reserven zur Verfügung zu haben. Dies hat den nicht unwesentlichen Nachteil zur Folge, dass durch die grösseren Akkumulatoren das Zuladungsgewicht ansteigt, was sich wiederum auf die Flug eigenschaften und die Leistungsdaten des Flugzeugs auswirkt. Besonders nachteilig ist dies bei Hochleistungsflugzeugen, die oft mehrere Stunden ununterbrochen in der Luft sind und laufend Strom zur Versorgung der elektronischen Bordinstrumente, w-ie Funk- und Navigationsgeräte und für die Servomotoren der Steuerhilfen benötigen.The invention relates to a glider with electronic on-board instruments and with adjustable servomotors which can be connected to an accumulator by means of electric Control aids, such as guide flaps, slats and the like. Is equipped with gliders of the type described above usually require accumulators with a relative large capacity in order to have enough reserves available. This doesn't have that The insignificant disadvantage is that the larger batteries reduce the load weight increases, which in turn affects the flight characteristics and the performance data of the Aircraft impacts. This is particularly disadvantageous in high-performance aircraft that are often in the air for several hours without interruption and there is a constant supply of electricity the electronic on-board instruments, such as radio and navigation devices and for the Need servomotors for the control aids.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei Segelflugzeugen der in Betracht kommenden Art das für die Akkumulatoren benötigte Gewicht niedrig zu halten, ohne deshalb eine Reserveeinbusse hinnehmen zu müssen.The invention is based on the object of the gliders into consideration type the weight required for the accumulators to low hold without therefore having to accept a reserve loss.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäss der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, das Segelflugzeug in der Weise auszubilden, dass auf der Oberseite des Rumpfes und bzwo oder der Tragflächen dem Akkumulator liefernde photoelektrische Elemente angeordnet sind0 Vorteilhafterweise sind diese derart in die Aussenhaut des Rumpfes bzw. der Tragflächen eingelassen und mit einem glasklaren Kunststoff abgedeckt, dass durch ihren Einbau in die fraglichen Teile des Segelflugzeugs keinerlei erhöhter Strömungswiderstand hervorgerufen wird.To solve this problem it is proposed according to the invention, Train the glider in such a way that on top of the fuselage and or arranged photoelectric elements delivering the accumulator or the wings are0 Advantageously, these are in such a way in the outer skin of the fuselage or the Wings embedded and covered with a clear plastic that through their installation in the parts of the glider in question does not have any increased flow resistance is caused.

Stromverbraucher der genannten Art haben sehr unterschiedliohe Charakteristika. So benötigen die elektronischen Bordgeräte einen zwar vergleichsweise geringen, dafür aber ständig fliessenden Strom, während die Elektromotoren für die Steuerhilfen verhältnismässig grosse Ströme benötigen, die Jedoch nur während verhältnismässig kurzer Einschaltzeiten fliessen. Die Ladekapazität der photoelektrischen Elemente sollte daher vorzugsweise wenigstens so gross sein, dass über die Zeit gesehen der mittlere Stromverbrauch von ihnen allein gedeckt werden kann, so dass der Akkumulator ausschliesslich als Puffer zur Deckung des Spitzenstrom bedarfs während der Betätigung der Steuerhilfen und als Reserve dient. So haben Erfahrungen gezeigt, dass für ein Hochleistungssegelflugzeug, das mit elektrisch betätigten Steuerhilfen sowie mit elektronischen Bordgeräten, wie Funkgerät und Variometer, ausgestattet ist, bei 12 V Batteriespannung nur etwa 2,2 Amperestunden pro Tag Strom verbraucht. Zum Nachladen genügen hierzu Solarbatterien mit einer Fläche von etwa 1550 cm2.Power consumers of the type mentioned have very different characteristics. The electronic on-board devices require a comparatively low, but constantly flowing electricity, while the electric motors for the control aids need relatively large currents, which, however, only during relatively short switch-on times. The charging capacity of the photoelectric elements should therefore preferably be at least so large that, seen over time, the mean power consumption can be covered by them alone, so the accumulator Exclusively as a buffer to cover the peak current demand during operation the tax aid and serves as a reserve. So experience has shown that for one High-performance glider with electrically operated control aids as well as with electronic on-board equipment, such as radios and variometers 12 V battery voltage only consumes about 2.2 ampere hours of electricity per day. For reloading Solar batteries with an area of around 1550 cm2 are sufficient for this.

Aus der Zeichnung, die eine Aufsicht auf ein Segelflugzeug in schematischer Darstellung erkennen lässta geht ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel des Anmeldungsgegenstandes hervor.From the drawing showing a plan view of a glider in schematic A preferred exemplary embodiment of the subject of the application can be recognized emerged.

Auf der Oberseite der Tragflächen 11 des Segelflugzeugs wie auch auf der Oberseite des Rumpfes 12 sind in die Aussenhaut der in Betracht kommenden Bauteile photoelektrische Elemente 13 eingelassen, die bei auffallenen Sonnenstrahlen Ladestrom für den Akkumulator liefern und dafür sorgen, dass der Akkumulator s-ets aufgeladen iat. Da Segelflugzeuge in aller Regel bei glirstigen Wetterverhältnissen geflogen werden, d0h. unter Bedingungen, bei denen eine lange Sonnenscheindauer die Regel ist, ist für die erforderliche optimale Betriebsbereitschaft des Akkumulators Sorge getragen. Neben der nicht unwesentlichen Gewichtsersparnis durch die Verwendung leichter Akkumulatoren ergibt sich ein weiterer Vorteil daraus, dass der Akkumulator normalerweise nicht zusätzlich durch Anhängen an eine Ladestromquelle aufgeladen zu werden braucht.On top of the wing 11 of the glider as well the top of the fuselage 12 are in the outer skin of the components in question Photoelectric elements 13 let in, the charging current when the sunbeams fall for the accumulator and make sure that the accumulator s-ets charged iat. Because gliders usually flown in bleak weather conditions become, d0h. under conditions where long sunshine is the norm care must be taken to ensure that the battery is optimally ready for operation carried. In addition to the not insignificant weight savings through the use Lighter accumulators, another advantage results from the fact that the accumulator usually not additionally charged by attaching to a charging power source needs to become.
