Abstract

This patent application introduces a wing assembly for aircraft, featuring an innovative approach to integrating a servo actuator control unit (SCU) (5) within the propulsion unit (2). The assembly includes a main section for attachment to the aircraft's fuselage and a pivotally connected flap section (1). The propulsion unit (2), integral to the flap section (1), is configured with inlet and exhaust areas (2a, 2b) to facilitate thrust production. The SCU (5) is uniquely integrated into a skin part (2c) of the propulsion unit (2), positioning it in the path of airflow generated during flight. This strategic placement enhances heat dissipation by utilizing the airflow, effectively reducing the need for additional cooling mechanisms and contributing to a lighter, less complex aircraft design. The direct exposure of the SCU (5) to airflow helps maintain it within safe operational temperature ranges, potentially increasing its reliability and service life. The configuration focuses on improving thermal management and aerodynamic efficiency, aligning with current trends in aerospace for more efficient, robust, and environmentally conscious aircraft wing assemblies.
