摘要： A vertical takeoff and landing craft that utilizes lifting, propulsion and maneuvering (LPM) assemblies comprising a series of blade foils arranged along track elongated loop paths disposed at the sides of a fuselage. These LPM assemblies are provided with control mechanisms enabling lift, attitude changes, altitude changes and directional flight propulsion and control including those needed for hovering as well as vertical takeoff and landing. The LPM assemblies are configured to drive large volumes of air in a manner and scale favorably similar to conventional rotorcraft while in contrast, providing capability for faster flights by eliminating or minimizing speed limiting factors commonly associated with rotorcraft.

摘要： A kit for conversion of a snowmobile for use as a personal watercraft by replacement of the skis (10) with steerable flotation 'device' (100) and addition of outrigger flotation 'device' (130) to suspend the track (90) in the water while providing flotation to the chassis (40), along with the flotation provided by the steerable flotation 'device' (100). The kit installs to the snowmobile without removing the track (90) or engine drive, and without interference with operator control systems. Wheels (200) may be included in keels of some hulls (100) to allow for ease of access and egress from water to land.
