Abstract

A flying device for IR flying target representation with at least one infrared radiator ( 2 ). An infrared radiator ( 2 ) is arranged inside the exhaust gas flow of a convected heat-generating unit so that the exhaust gas stream completely encloses the surface of the infrared radiator ( 2 ) exposed to airflow.

Claims (13)

1. A flying device for IR flying target representation, said device comprising:

a heat-generating unit spaced apart from and proximal to a nose of a propulsion unit wherein said nose has a conical shape and functions as an infrared radiator with said nose being arranged in an exhaust stream of said heat generating unit to thereby provide infrared radiation forward in a direction of flight of the flying device.

2. The flying device according to claim 1 , wherein the infrared radiator is made of one or more temperature-resistant materials.

3. The flying device according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the infrared radiator has a high emission capacity in the infrared spectral range.

4. The flying device according to claim 3 , wherein that the surface of the infrared radiator is coated with electric insulating materials.

5. The flying device according to claim 1 , wherein the propulsive unit is one of an aircraft gas turbine, an internal combustion motor and a gas burner.

6. A flying device for IR flying target representation comprising;

a first component including a conically shaped infrared radiator arranged on a front end of said first component and a propulsion device;

a second component including a heat-generating unit connected to and spatially separated from said first component, said heat generating unit extending in a lateral direction from said front end of said first component wherein said conically shaped infrared radiator is arranged in an exhaust stream of said heat generating unit and provides infrared radiation forward in a direction of flight of said flying device.

7. The flying device according to claim 6 , wherein the infrared radiator is made of one or more temperature-resistant materials.

8. The flying device according to claim 6 , wherein the surface of the infrared radiator has a high emission capacity in the infrared spectral range.

9. The flying device according to claim 8 , wherein that the surface of the infrared radiator is coated with electric insulating materials.

10. The flying device according to claim 6 , wherein the heat generating unit is one of an aircraft gas turbine, an internal combustion motor and a gas burner.
