Application: Rib mounting flanges for an unmanned aerial vehicle (Patent ID: US20230406479A1)
The patent filed by AeroVironment Inc. describes systems, devices, and methods involving rib mounting flanges with specific features such as spar openings for main spars, holes for cross-bracing cables, and holes for connecting adjacent rib mounting flanges. These rib mounting flanges are designed to transfer loads from rib members to the main spar efficiently. Additionally, the system includes rib members attached to the rib mounting flanges, adapting to varying main spar profiles and made of materials like carbon fiber and epoxy.
Furthermore, the patent details a system with wing panels, spars, rib mounting flanges, and rib members that work together to absorb and transfer loads effectively. The system includes inboard and outboard end rib flanges, center compression rib flanges, and corresponding rib members, all connected by cross-bracing cables. These components are strategically located along the wing panels to ensure structural integrity and load distribution. The rib mounting flanges are designed to connect rib members to spars, adapting to irregular spar profiles, and incorporating lightweight rib flanges for enhanced performance.
