In this study, we construct timelike ruled surfaces whose Disteli-axis is constant in Minkowski 3-space 𝔼³₁. Then we attain a general system characterizing these surfaces, and also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a timelike ruled surface to get a constant Disteli-axis.

The paper study the curvature theory of a line-trajectory of constant Disteli-axis, according to the invariants of the axodes of moving body in spatial motion. A necessary and sufficient condition for a line-trajectory to be a constant Disteli-axis is derived. From which new proofs of the Disteli's formulae and concise explicit expressions of the inflection line congruence are directly obtained. The obtained explicit equations degenerate into a quadratic form, which can easily give a clear insight into the geometric properties of a line-trajectory of constant Disteli-axis with the theory of line congruence. The degenerated cases of the Burmester lines are discussed according to dual points having specific trajectories.

This paper develops in detail the differential geometry of ruled surfaces from two perspectives, and presents the underlying relations which unite them. Both scalar and dual curvature functions which define the shape of a ruled surface are derived. Explicit formulas are presented for the computation of these functions in both formulations of the differential geometry of ruled surfaces. Also presented is a detailed analysis of the ruled surface which characterizes the shape of a general ruled surface in the same way that osculating circle characterizes locally the shape of a non-null Lorentzian curve.
