DEPLOYABLE FAIRING FOR TRANSPORT VEHICLE

DEPLOYABLE FAIRING FOR TRANSPORT VEHICLE

A deployable fairing for a transport vehicle comprises a flexible, internally pressurizable enclosure (122) supported by a structural frame (120). The structural frame (120) comprises a plurality of rigid structural members forming at least two subframes that are pivotally coupled to one another and...

description A deployable fairing for a transport vehicle comprises a flexible, internally pressurizable enclosure (122) supported by a structural frame (120). The structural frame (120) comprises a plurality of rigid structural members forming at least two subframes that are pivotally coupled to one another and is foldably movable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The enclosure (122) moves with the structural frame (120), unfolds when the structural frame (120) moves into the expanded configuration and folds in upon itself when the structural frame (120) moves into the collapsed configuration. Moving the structural frame (120) into the expanded configuration develops tension on at least part of the outer surface of the enclosure (122), and movement of the structural frame (120) into the collapsed configuration releases the tension. When the enclosure (122) is internally pressurized while the structural frame (120) is in the expanded configuration, the outer surface of the enclosure (122) is structurally stiff and conforms to a predefined aerodynamic shape.
