Abstract: A hybrid power or thrust generator including at least one thermodynamic turbine engine and at least one electric power generator. An electric power generator is electrically connected to at least one electric motor, mechanically and rotatably coupled to one or more rotating portions of the thermodynamic turbine engine, and the electric power generator operates simultaneously with the thermodynamic engine so as to supply the electric motor(s) to reduce the power drawn from the turbines of the thermodynamic turbine engine in operation. The electric power generator may comprise a thermoacoustic engine driving a linear electric alternator. The generator is advantageously implemented in a vehicle, such as an aircraft.

Abstract: An aircraft including a fuselage and at least one wing comprising, on the aerodynamic plane, a plurality of distributed airfoils separated from one another, numbering more than 10, and arranged inside an enclosing space bearing on the airfoils. The shape and dimensions of the enclosing space correspond to the shape and dimensions of a simple wing of conventional structure, which is adapted to the aircraft taking account of the weight and flight speed of the aircraft. Advantageously, the airfoils are arranged such that the cross-section of the enclosing space in a vertical plane XZ of the aircraft matches the shape of the aerodynamic profile of the simple wing of conventional structure. The airfoils are arranged, for example, to produce a V formation in plan view, with the tip pointing forwards.
