Abstract:

(DE)Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Strömungskörper (2), insbesondere einen Staudruckströmungskörper, insbesondere einen Drachen, der insbesondere als Zugströmungskörper ausgebildet ist, sowie ein Verfahren zum Fliegen eines Strömungskörpers, aufweisend Steuerleinenbefestigungsvorrichtungen (8) zur Befestigung von, insbesondere unabhängig voneinander beweglichen, Steuerleinen (6) und/oder, insbesondere unabhängig voneinander bewegliche, Steuerleinen, wobei die mindestens eine Strömungsfläche relativ zueinander bewegliche Strömungsflächenabschnitte (9) aufweist und wobei Leinenbefestigungsvorrichtungen und/oder Steuerleinen mit den relativ zueinander bewegliche Strömungsflächenabschnitten gekoppelt sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass mehr als vier Leinenbefestigungsvorrichtungen und/oder Steuerleinen vorgesehen sind und jeweils mit einem der relativ zueinander beweglichen Strömungsflächenabschnitten gekoppelt sind.
(EN)The invention relates to an aerodynamic body (2), in particular a dynamic pressure aerodynamic body, in particular a kite, which is designed in particular as an aerodynamic body operated by traction, and to a method for flying an aerodynamic body, comprising control line fixing devices (8) for fixing control lines (6), in particular control lines that are movable independently of one another, and/or comprising control lines, in particular control lines that are movable independently of one another, wherein the at least one flow surface has flow surface sections (9) that are movable relative to one another and wherein line fixing devices and/or control lines are coupled to the flow surface sections that are movable relative to one another. The invention is characterized in that more than four line fixing devices and/or control lines are provided and coupled respectively to one of the flow surface sections that are movable relative to one another.
(FR)La présente invention concerne un élément aérodynamique (2), en particulier un élément aérodynamique soumis à une pression dynamique, notamment un cerf-volant, se présentant en particulier sous forme d'élément aérodynamique soumis à une traction, ainsi qu'un procédé permettant de faire voler un élément aérodynamique, comportant des systèmes de fixation des lignes de pilotage (8) permettant de fixer des lignes de pilotage (6) notamment mobiles indépendamment les unes des autres, et/ou des lignes de pilotage notamment mobiles indépendamment les unes des autres, ladite au moins surface aérodynamique présentant des parties de surface aérodynamique (9) mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres, et les systèmes de fixation des lignes de pilotage et/ou les lignes de pilotage étant couplés avec les parties de surface aérodynamique mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte plus de quatre systèmes de fixation des lignes de pilotage et/ou lignes de pilotage respectivement couplés avec une des parties de surface aérodynamique mobiles les unes par rapport aux autres.

RIGGING COMPRISING A SAIL WITH NO MAST AND HYDROPTER FITTED WITH SUCH RIGGING

Sail for ships or kite- flying is held aloft by lifters and stabilisers for free response to wind.

Kite has profile skeleton line with profile trailing edge pointing upwards when line is relaxed, with curvature or profile of kite variable by variable tensioning of braking line anchored in vicinity of profile trailing edge
