    摘要: A control member is rotatably mounted on the fuselage or on the wing of a model aircraft in spaced relation with a supporting surface of the fuselage. A gear leg is supported at one end by the control member and supports a landing wheel at its spaced opposite end. The gear leg extends radially of the control member. A torsion spring is coaxially mounted with the control member for storing energy when the control member is in a position whereby the gear leg is fully extended for ground operations and for releasing stored energy to rotate the control member in a manner whereby the gear leg is retracted for flying operations. A gear retracting initiator coupled to the torsion spring initiates gear retraction. An extend lock locks the gear leg in its fully extended position. A retract lock locks the gear leg in its retracted position. An actuator in operative proximity with the extend lock and the retract lock assists in locking the gear leg in its fully extended position and assists in locking the gear leg in its retracted position.

    摘要: By mounting a lift engine and a lift/cruise engine closely to the center of gravity of an aircraft and by orienting the respective engines such that the thrust axes thereof are arranged for ensuring that the vector sum of the lift engine thrust and the lift/cruise engine thrust pass through the center of gravity at all times, a fuel efficient aircraft can controllably takeoff and land vertically. To provide for vectoring the thrust of the respective engines, different nozzles are provided. Further, to provide for pitch, roll and yaw control, a vane assembly is coupled to the aircraft in such a way that it remains in alignment to the jet stream of the lift engine.

    摘要: A VTOL aircraft has a first engine nacelle mounted under the wing on one side of the fuselage and houses two of the aircraft engines. The first engine nacelle is mounted in close proximity with the fuselage. A second engine nacelle is mounted under the wing on the opposite side of the fuselage from the first nacelle and houses the remaining two engines. The second engine nacelle is mounted in close proximity with the fuselage. The first and second nacelles are movable from positions parallel to the wing for normal flight to positions perpendicular to the wing for vertical flight. Each of the first and second engine nacelles has inlets and nozzles and each of the first and second nacelles is angled in a manner whereby its nozzles are closer to the fuselage than its inlets. First control vanes extend aft of the nozzles of, and are movable with, the first engine nacelle and second control vanes extend aft of the nozzles of, and are movable with, the second engine nacelle. Each of the first and second vanes include vertical vanes normally aligned with the thrust vector centerlines.

    摘要: A metal container stores a VTOL aircraft during shipment to a sea vessel or large vehicle where it then functions as a portable weather-tight hangar which can be secured in available deck space. When on board a ship's deck, the walls of the container unfold so that the structure may be converted to a take-off and landing pad that provides an exhaust system for the hot lift engine gases that eliminates the hazard to ship's crew, prevents heat damage to the deck and eliminates "suck down" effects characteristic of certain VTOL aircraft configurations. Triangular panels are removably secured together to form the cover of the container; and when unfolded and flattened, these panels are inserted in the corners of the unfolded structure so as to extend the heat shield.

    摘要: A solar heating device for swimming pools comprising an inflatable raft having a thermally reflective bottom surface and a thermally transparent top surface, and means for elevating at least a fraction of said reflective surface above the swimming pool surface during periods of diminished solar radiation to reduce heat loss from the water. One raft is generally small enough to be easily handled and a plurality of rafts may be required to cover a substantial part of the water surface. The number of rafts required is variable and provides a measure of flexibility to the rate of heating, i.e., by providing more rafts in spring and fall and perhaps none in mid-summer.
