This unique design features a lightweight rotating ring specifically crafted for wing mounting applications. It effectively supports both lift and centrifugal forces, utilizing a light composite structure. The optimized shape maintains a perfectly circular inner contour across all rotation velocities, ensuring functional integrity. The simplified ring support design minimizes noise and efficiently accommodates wing attachments. With total radial displacements kept small (0.35 mm), it offers reliable performance with minimal deformation, making it ideal for various aerodynamic applications.
