摘要： Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme. In various examples, a recovery engine is placed within a vortex flow of air caused by the impingement of air upon a nacelle of a main engine. The propeller of the recovery engine can use the vortex flow of air to provide additional thrust the aircraft, thus reducing the load on the main engines or providing an increased velocity.

摘要： A system for manufacturing modular aircraft includes at least at least a common tooling component, including at least one or more of a first component in a shape of a nose and a second component in a shape of a wing. The system further including at least a modular tooling component in a shape of a main body, wherein connecting the at least a common tooling components to the at least modular component forms a mold in a shape of at least a portion of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft with no clear demarcation between the shape of the wing and a shape of a main body along an edge of the shape of the BWB.

摘要： Aircraft with fuel tanks stored aft of the main body and method of manufacturing an aircraft with fuel tanks stored aft of the main body. Aircraft includes a blended wing body, wherein the blended wing body includes a main body and a cabin at least partially located within the main body. The aircraft further including a plurality of fuel tanks located at least partially aft of the cabin within the main body and configured to store liquified gas fuel. The fuel tanks may include a multi-lobe geometry.

摘要： Aspects related to aircraft for commercial air travel and methods of manufacture. An aircraft includes a blended wing body, a single deck located within the blended wing body, wherein the single deck additionally includes a passenger compartment located in a lateral middle portion of the blended wing body and at least a cargo store located laterally outside the passenger compartment, and a landing gear, wherein the landing gear includes at least a nose gear located substantially forward of the single deck and at least a main gear located substantially aft of the single deck, wherein one or more of the at least a nose gear and the at least a main gear occupies a gear housing that overlaps with a plane coincident with at least a portion of the single deck.

摘要： Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive pitch angle for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.

摘要： Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme using a boundary layer bypass duct system. In some examples, boundary layer air is routed around the intake of one or more of the engines and reintroduced aft of the engine fan in the nozzle duct in a mixer-ejector scheme. Mixer-ejectors mix the boundary layer flow to increase mass flow.

摘要： In another aspect, a method for fueling an aircraft, the method including storing liquified gas fuel using a fuel tank, wherein the fuel tank is configured to store liquified gas fuel, fueling an aircraft using a fuel line. Fueling the aircraft may additionally include the fuel tank with liquified gas fuel to a desired level, wherein a desired level comprises fuel for a plurality of flights plus reserves. Filling may also include removing the fuel line as a function of the desired level. The method may additionally include venting the fuel tank using a vent line in fluid connection to the fuel tank. The fuel tank may then be prepared for flight as a function of a desired level. Finally, the method includes flying a plurality of flights using the aircraft.
