Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An aerodynamic pod for positioning on aircrafts is provided; the aerodynamic pod includes a body and a front body positioned on the body and movable, an optical head positioned on the front body, a rear-view cavity positioned on the front body, a channel opening on the rear-view cavity for movement of the front body against the aerodynamic torque generated thereon, and a protrusion positioned on the rear-view cavity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An aerodynamic pod for positioning on an aircraft, comprising a body, a movable front body positioned on the body, an optical head positioned on the movable front body, and a rear-view cavity positioned on the movable front body, wherein a channel opening on the rear-view cavity and a protrusion positioned on the rear-view cavity are configured for moving against an aerodynamic torque generated thereon. 2. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is formed on the rear-view cavity to pass over an axis line formed to extend towards y-axis. 3. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 1 , wherein the channel is formed on the rear-view cavity to pass over an axis line formed to extend towards y-axis. 4. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 1 , wherein the channel is cut into the rear-view cavity to pass over an axis line formed to pass through an intersection of x-axis and y-axis. 5. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is positioned on the rear-view cavity so as to pass over an axis line formed to pass through an intersection of x-axis and y-axis. 6. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 1 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 7. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 2 , wherein the channel is formed on the rear-view cavity to pass over the axis line formed to extend towards the y-axis. 8. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 4 , wherein the protrusion is positioned on the rear-view cavity to pass over the axis line formed to pass through the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis. 9. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 2 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 10. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 3 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 11. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 4 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 12. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 5 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 13. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 7 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape. 14. The aerodynamic pod according to claim 8 , wherein the optical head has a substantially partially spherical shape.
