Disclosed is an air vehicle (Z) comprising a vehicle body (1); hollow fan ducts (3A-3D) supported to and elongating through the vehicle body at least at its foreside and rear-side locations, respectively. Each fan duct communicates with air at top and bottom of the vehicle body and has a fan (9A-9D) at a top opening (6). The air vehicle further comprises rotary engines (11) each installed inside of each fan duct to rotate the fan. In a preferred embodiment, a cylinder (13) of the rotary engine is mounted to a supporting housing (25) of the fan duct via elastic means (29) which may be fitted to a boss structure (26) of the supporting housing. Each fan duct is tiltable to any directions. Preferably, the fan ducts comprise a pair of front fan ducts (3A, 3B) and another pair of rear fan ducts (3C, 3D) supported to the rear-side of the vehicle body, and the rotary engines in diagonally located fan ducts (3A and 3D; 3B and 3C) are driven to rotate in the same direction.

This invention called airwheel, concerns of a flying disk shaped flying/space vehicle with the use of a new technic of thrust through the rolling of a wheel. If we exercise a force from a fixed point on the edge of a turning wheel (fixed related to the main body of the vehicle) and the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the linear speed of the edge, then we will simulate the friction force between the turning wheel of a car and the road which forces the rolling of the car wheel and not just the revolving of it. The airwheel uses to roll (fly) a wheel named in the invention rolling wheel (b) and it embraces the main body (a) of the airwheel as well as an other wheel (Angular Momentum Maintenance Wheel (c)) which turns the other way around to maintain the angular momentum. The airwheel uses nozzles (k) to manoeuvre. Airwheel ingests atmospheric air to fly and avoids/standsup against air pockets using gas saved in a cylindric tank in it which diverts gas under great pressure to the nozzles. For the interplanetary flight airwheel uses the magnetic fields of the magnetosphere, magnetotail and the magnetic fields of solar wind. It comprises T-shaped telescopic devices which on the upper side of the nullTnull contain couples of superconductor bobbins.

Method and apparatus embodiments of the present invention are disclosed wherein wing-rotor configurations provide aerodynamically high lift-low drag capabilities and improvements over the prior art including increasing effective stall angles. In addition, wing-rotor-propeller configurations provide aerodynamically high lift-low drag and forward thrust capabilities and improvements over the prior art for all vehicles moving through gaseous fluids and particular including application for air vehicles and watercraft. Also, wing leading edge air blowing systems augment the example configurations for enhanced performance including substantially vertical take-off and landing of air vehicles.

To obtain an augmented lift coefficient for a given airfoil set at a maximum angle of attack (null), in a steady state airflow system, a shrouded motorized propeller is installed normal to its upper side, creating additional airflow. An outlet for the additional airflow is provided including a horizontal motorized propeller placed at the trailing edge of the airfoil. The motorized propeller converts the additional air flow into a down-wash generating additional lift. Neither the first nor the second installation alone will produce the augmented lift efficiently. Therefore, the combination of the first and the second installation is needed. The propeller-wing arrangement is implement in the airfoils.

摘要:
A VSTOL vehicle including a fuselage with two pairs of ducted rotors fully enclosed fore and aft of the fuselage respectively. The fuselage is aerodynamically shaped to generate lift in forward flight. All four ducts are configured such that their center axes are substantially parallel to each other, and at an angle tilted sufficiently forward from the vertical axis of the fuselage. Each ducted rotor is powered by one engine inside the duct behind the rotor. All four rotors and engine shafts rotates counterclockwise, generating substantial angular momentum to stabilize the vehicle through the gyroscopic effect. Variable-shape inlets of the ducted rotors and vector thrusting of the airflow out of the ducted rotors combine to provide efficient power and control during all phases of flight. The vehicle is configured to meet motor vehicle requirements to drive on streets.

A vertical take off and land (VTOL) jet aircraft may have a jet engine mounted in a forward portion of the aircraft. A thrust deflection assembly may be provided rearward of the jet engine, and include a cascade and control box for deflecting thrust during vertical flight of the aircraft. By manipulating the cascade and control box, the roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft during vertical flight may be controlled. In addition, ailerons, a rudder and elevators may be provided for controlling roll, yaw and pitch during forward flight. A pilot control input apparatus is also provided, which receives pilot input regarding desired roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft. The pilot control input is operatively associated with a control mixer, which controls the control box, ailerons, rudder and elevators in accordance with the desired roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft. As a result, the pilot uses the same control input apparatus for vertical and forward flight.

A personal aircraft (PAC) capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) comprises a fixed wing and a fuselage with a passenger compartment having a front, a rear and two sides, and a plurality of independently powered thrusters, preferably integrated into the wing, on each side of the fuselage. The aircraft has a lift to drag ratio equal to or greater than 2. The thrusters, which are ducted fan units capable of providing a vertically upward force to the aircraft, are provided with such redundancy that the aircraft can hover with at one thruster inoperative on each side of the fuselage. At least one thruster on each side of the fuselage preferably comprises a nulllevitatornull which creates lift from the airfoil-like air inlet as well as from the acceleration of air from inlet to outlet.

A vehicle capable of roadway travel and flight, both in an atmosphere and in a vacuum, includes a fluid passageway, a device for producing fluid flow in the passageway, and airfoil surfaces spaced mutually along the passageway and fixed to the structure of the vehicle, to which structure lift forces produced on the airfoils are transferred. The vehicle includes lift-producing wings extending from the body of the vehicle, the fluid passageway being located within the vehicle body or the external wings. Fluid flow within the passageway is produced by a fan, propeller, or exhaust from a jet engine.
