Description

BESCHREIBUNG Fiugzeug-Fahrwerk-Schutz-SystemDESCRIPTION Aircraft landing gear protection system

Fahrwerk-Systeme üblicher Art sind sehr kompliziert. Die modernen Flugzeuge fahren die Räder erst kurz vor der Landung aus. Jede Flugzeuglandung birgt auch Gefahren in sich. Da die Räder antriebslos sind, befinden sie sich ständig relativ in Ruhe, bis zu dem Zeitpunkt, wenn das Flugzeug die Piste (Landebahn) berührt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt werden die Räder von Null auf mehrere Hundert km/h beschleunigt. Das belastet sehr die Räder bzw. das komplette Fahrwerk. Die Räder drehen sich nicht auf die Millisekunde mit voller Geschwindigkeit. Es dauert einen Moment, bis sie die Geschwindigkeit des Flugzeugs erreichen. Während dieser Verzögerung reiben sie kräftig auf der Piste. Es entsteht durch diese Reibung eine Hitze, welche die äusseren Schichten der Räder verbrennt. Dadurch entsteht eine kleine Rauchwolke hinter dem Flugzeug, während es landet. Um ein Feuer oder das Platzen der Räder zu verhindern, werden sie in der Regel mit nicht brennbaren Gasen gefüllt. Ausserdem werden die Räder ziemlich oft gewechselt. Es entstehen dadurch auch hohe kosten.Landing gear systems of the usual type are very complicated. Modern aircraft only extend the wheels shortly before landing. Every aircraft landing also involves dangers. Since the wheels are not powered, they are always relatively at rest until the aircraft touches the runway. At this point, the wheels are accelerated from zero to several hundred km/h. This puts a lot of strain on the wheels and the entire landing gear. The wheels do not rotate at full speed to the millisecond. It takes a moment until they reach the speed of the aircraft. During this deceleration, they rub vigorously on the runway. This friction creates heat that burns the outer layers of the wheels. This creates a small cloud of smoke behind the aircraft as it lands. To prevent fire or the wheels from bursting, they are usually filled with non-flammable gases. In addition, the wheels are changed quite often. This also results in high costs.

Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 8 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde ein System zu schaffen, das in der Lage ist, das Risiko, das die Räder während dem Landeanflug platzen oder brennen, fast auszuschliessen. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist auch die Lebensdauer des Flugzeugfahrwerks deutlich zu verlängern.The invention specified in claims 1 to 8 is based on the problem of creating a system that is able to almost eliminate the risk of the wheels bursting or burning during the landing approach. The aim of the invention is also to significantly extend the service life of the aircraft landing gear.

Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 8 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features set out in claims 1 to 8.

Vorteile der Erfindung sind:Advantages of the invention are:

- Der Landeanflug wird sicherer- The landing approach becomes safer

- Kein Reifenverschleiss,- No tire wear,

- Keine Destabilisierung des Flugzeugs, wenn zuerst nur eine Seite die Piste berührt,- No destabilization of the aircraft if only one side touches the runway first,

- Keine gefährliche Hitzeentwicklung, während die Räder die Landebahn berühren- No dangerous heat build-up while the wheels are touching the runway

- Keine Rauchwolke hinter dem Flugzeug (die in der Regel durch die Räder entsteht)- No cloud of smoke behind the aircraft (which is usually caused by the wheels)

- Keine Quietschgeräusche während dem Landeanflug.- No squeaking noises during landing approach.

Ausführungsbeispiele werden anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 erläutert. Es zeigen;Embodiments are explained using figures 1 to 4. They show;

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Variante mit Elektromotoren Fig. 2 zeigt eine Variante mit "Windflügel" 1 Fig. 3 zeigt eine andere Variante mit Windkraft Fig. 4 zeigt ein Reifenprofil, das zusätzlich nutzvoll wäre.Fig. 1 shows a variant with electric motors Fig. 2 shows a variant with "wind blades" 1 Fig. 3 shows another variant with wind power Fig. 4 shows a tire profile that would also be useful.

Die Steuereinheit 2, die mit dem Computer 3 des Flugzeugs 10 verbunden ist, berechnet rechtzeitig die Landegeschwindigkeit des Flugzeugs. Mit dieser Geschwindigkeit fängt sie an die Räder 4 zu drehen. Da die Elektromotoren 5 ziemlich klein sind, werden sie eine Weile brauchen bis die notwendige Drehgeschwindigkeit erreicht wird. Wenn das Flugzeug keine eigenen Geschwindigkeitsmesser (bzw. Drehzahlmesser oder Drehzahl-Sensoren) für die Räder hat, werden Drehzahl-Sensoren 6 eingebaut, welche für jedes Rad separat die Drehzahl überwachen. Diese senden (z.B. per Funk) ihre Signale weiter an die Steuereinheit, welche die Kontrolle über jedes Rad hat.The control unit 2, which is connected to the computer 3 of the aircraft 10, calculates the landing speed of the aircraft in good time. At this speed, it starts to rotate the wheels 4. Since the electric motors 5 are quite small, they will take a while to reach the necessary rotation speed. If the aircraft does not have its own speedometers (or tachometers or speed sensors) for the wheels, speed sensors 6 are installed, which monitor the speed for each wheel separately. These send their signals (e.g. by radio) to the control unit, which has control over each wheel.

Die andere Variante ist rein mechanisch. Hier wird die Windkraft benutzt, um die Räder vor der Landung zu drehen. Seitlich an die Rad-Felgen sind kleine flügelartige Elemente 9 angebracht, welche das Rad zur Drehung zwingen.
Auch ein besonderes Rad-Profil 8 kann behilflich sein (Fig. 4).
The other variant is purely mechanical. Here, wind power is used to turn the wheels before landing. Small wing-like elements 9 are attached to the sides of the wheel rims, which force the wheel to turn.
A special wheel profile 8 can also be helpful (Fig. 4).
