VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: aeronautical engineering; construction of vertical takeoff and landing flying vehicles. SUBSTANCE: vertical takeoff and landing vehicle includes lifting surfaces with longer sides oriented along vehicle, power plants - excessive pressure gas generators brought in communication with tunnel chambers provided with adjustable nozzles directing the gases across vehicle length and rudders. Flying vehicle is provided with at least two fuselages whose upper surfaces are bent over transverse arcs. Lifting surfaces are made in the form of concavo-concave shield directed towards upper surfaces of fuselages and connected with these fuselages by means of transverse vertical partitions forming transverse slotted curvilinear flow-through passages together with surfaces of fuselages. These passages are communicated with diffuser formed by lower surfaces of fuselages. Vehicle is provided with propulsors consisting of set of shields mounted between fuselages at outlet of flow-through passages. They are mounted vertically and rotatably. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 3 dwg
