ABSTRACT:
An end plate is provided for a ram-wing boat having two airfoils (7-8) and (7a-8a), in the form of ailettes, disposed at a distance from each other and in tandem at approximately the same height, which airfoils are connected with each other at their outer ends by flat end plates (1). Each end plate (1) is configured as a hollow body with an essentially trapezoidal cross section, and consists of upper chord (2) and lower chord (3) connected by planking (4 and 5) along the length thereof. To complete the static assemblage, ribs (6) which divide the hollow body into compartments (9) are disposed at a distance from each other in the hollow space of the end plate (1).
