ABSTRACT:
An unfoldable wing which is extendable from an airborne body, wherein the wing includes a nose spar which has one end segment thereof pivotable about a bearing axis which is located on the airborne body, and a motive arrangement equipped with an energy accumulator or storage for effectuating the extension of the nose spar about the associated bearing axis. On the airborne body there is provided a base spar having a first end segment in proximity to the bearing axis for the nose spar, and with the base spar being oriented at least approximately parallel with the longitudinal axis of the airborne body, whereby the base spar is displaceable along its longitudinal direction and is operatively connectable or, essentially, operatively connected with the energy accumulator and with the nose spar for effectuating the extension of the nose spar. The airborne body, there is required only a relatively small amount of space for the base spar, so as to allow for a construction of the unfoldable wing for an outward extension from the airborne.
