Adaptable fluid-foil

An adaptable fluid-foil (12, 14) comprising at least two panels (60, 62), the panels (60, 62) are joined at opposing edges (50, 56), in use, a fluid passes over at least part of one of the panels (60, 62) characterised in that a panel (60, 62) comprises a shape memory element (70), the shape memory...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An adaptable fluid-foil (12, 14) comprising at least two panels (60, 62), the panels (60, 62) are joined at opposing edges (50, 56), in use, a fluid passes over at least part of one of the panels (60, 62) characterised in that a panel (60, 62) comprises a shape memory element (70), the shape memory element (70) is arranged to change the shape of the fluid-foil between a first shape and a second shape, so that in use, the first shape (50) is optimal for a first fluid flow condition and the second shape (50') is optimal for a second fluid flow condition.
