ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling aerodynamic bodies with at least one setting member for generating a transversal force on the aerodynamic body. To achieve a simple compact design, setting members are arranged on a rotor where the rotor extends forward from the tip of the aerodynamic body. The setting members are arranged here so that they set the rotor in rotation by the oncoming flow; they are designed, for instance, as a crossed pair of rudders. In addition, the setting members are located asymmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the aerodynamic body, so that they exert at least in some positions of the rotor a transversal force on the aerodynamic body. The position of the rotor can be influenced by means of a braking system.
