METHOD OF MOTION OF CARGOES OF CONSIDERABLE MASS IN SPACE AND ENGINE-PROPELLER SYSTEM FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: air transportation of bulk freights; construction of large industrial objects; military-transport aviation. SUBSTANCE: engine-propeller system includes load-bearing structure consisting of beams interconnected in single lattice surface. Engine-propeller units are located in attachment points over entire surface of structure. It may have convex, concave or flat form and any configuration. Number of surfaces carrying the engine-propeller units may range from 1 to 10. Freight is suspended by means of lines articulated with beams with the aid of locking and sliding unit. Resultant lift force P_lift formed by sum of elementary components of forces generated by engine-propeller units is selected within the following range: I ≤ (P_lift+P_fr):P_fr≤ 100, where P_fr is mass of freight. Motion of freight is effected through change of angle between P_lift and P_fr. EFFECT: increased load ratio. 7 cl, 9 dwg
