Abstract
A wing deployment mechanism and a design method using a pneumatic cylinder with transmission spring system (assembly) are provided. The deployment mechanism comprises frame, wing, deployment cylinder, gas canister, rotation shaft, bolts, groove, locking pin, dowel pin, flange, first spring, second spring, dowel pin hole, looking pin hole, slider, third spring. The design method includes step 1: determining the problem's specifications; step 2: constructing the equations of motion; step 3: designing a primary scheme for a system of pneumatic cylinder with transmission spring. Step 4: determining the parameters for the system; and step 5: validating the design.
