Abstract: A “wing in ground effect” aerial vehicle includes a wing mounted on a fuselage, and two cycloidal propulsion units for providing lift, thrust and longitudinal control. Additional lift is provided by a lighter-than-air gas such as helium contained in the fuselage. Operationally, the two cycloidal propulsion units and the volume of lighter-than-air gas are concertedly regulated to achieve “wing in ground effect” flight. Importantly, the two cycloidal propulsion units may operate in one of several modes, to include a curtate mode, a prolate mode, and a fixed-wing mode. Additionally, the vehicle may hover. Also, a thruster unit is mounted on the fuselage for providing forward thrust in combination with, or in lieu of, the two cycloidal propulsion units.

Abstract: An aircraft is provided having an inflatable parafoil canopy wing and a suspended fuselage. The wing is constructed such that, when inflated, it has an airfoil configuration having leading and trailing edges, thereby producing lift by interaction with air encountered by the leading edge. A central compartment confines a buoyant gas which causes the total volume of the wing to be varied in response to the degree of inflation with the buoyant gas. With sufficient inflation, the aircraft is capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).

Abstract: A parachute having two air-balloon sections within the upper portion of the main canopy. Each of these air-balloon sections is isolated from the main canopy and from the other air-balloon section. Both air-balloon sections are filled with lighter-than-air gas, for example helium, and thus provide an active lift to the parachute. At least one inflating air valve and deflating air valve are provided at each air-balloon section for inflating and deflating them. The sections are filled either manually, in accordance with a predetermined scheme, by the parachutist himself or automatically after the main canopy opens up. Gas is preferably contained within two gas tanks, one for each section, located on the back of the parachutist on both sides of the backpack, containing the parachute and attached to the harness worn by the user. The provided parachute may be used as safety equipment, a sport or recreational device, and/or as a mode of transportation allowing a prolonged floating in the air.
