摘要: A high-efficiency, stall-proof airfoil is an aircraft wing configuration whereby a motive force directly induces gaseous fluid flow across a lifting surface of the airfoil without requiring a movement of the wing through an air space. The airfoil is provided with means to control a pitch, a roll and a yaw motion and to control a position and stability of the aircraft. When not undergoing horizontal displacement, it provides highly efficient use of fuel resources, precluding the formation of drag and its incumbent power consumption. Air pressure at a bottom of the wing remains essentially ambient. Therefore, differential pressure between a lower surface of the wing and an upper surface of the wing maintains its maximum possible quantity. Virtually, all of the power consumed is utilized in a production of lift. Additionally, because lift is generated without regard to an angle-of-attack, forward speed, nor a configuration of a leading edge of the wing, the configuration is essentially stall proof.

摘要: An aircraft having a vertical takeoff and landing fight mode and a forward flight mode. The aircraft includes a fuselage and an X-tiltwing that is rotatable relative to the fuselage between a vertical lift orientation and a forward thrust orientation. The X-tiltwing has oppositely disposed V-wing members each having first and second wing sections. In the vertical lift orientation, the first and second wing sections of each V-wing member are generally in the same horizontal plane. In the forward thrust orientation, the first and second wing sections of each V-wing member are generally in the same vertical plane. A distributed propulsion system is attached to the X-tiltwing such that a plurality of propulsion assemblies is attached to each wing section. A flight control system is operably associated with the distributed propulsion system to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies.

摘要: 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.

摘要: In various embodiments, a tilt-wing aircraft includes a fuselage; a first wing tiltably mounted at or near a forward end of the fuselage; and a second wing rotatably mounted to the fuselage at a position aft of the first wing. A first plurality of rotors is mounted on the first wing at locations on or near a leading edge of the first wing, with two or more rotors being mounted on wing portions on each side of the fuselage; and a second plurality of rotors mounted on the second wing at locations on or near a leading edge of the second wing, with two or more rotors being mounted on wing portions on each side of the fuselage. A flight control system generates a set of actuators and associated actuator parameters to achieve desired forces and moments.

摘要: A method for operating a propulsion system of an aircraft includes moving a plurality of forward and aft propulsors to a vertical thrust position. While in the vertical thrust positions, the method also includes providing a first forward to aft ratio of electric power to the plurality of forward and aft propulsors. The method also includes moving the plurality of forward and aft propulsors to a forward thrust position. While in the forward thrust positions, the method also includes providing a second forward to aft ratio of electric power to the plurality of forward and aft propulsors. The first forward to aft ratio of electric power is different than the second forward to aft ratio of electric power to provide certain efficiencies for the aircraft.
