SUPERLIGHT VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: flying vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: proposed flying vehicle includes lifting system made in form of plate-type dome and suspension system made in form of engine mount on which engine, pilot seat, fuel tank and cargo cassette are mounted. Dome skin is made from elastic plate members located in seats of framework for turn under action of counter flow of air. Suspension system is connected with dome by means of suspension unit through extension mechanism consisting of two articulation-and-leverage systems in form of pantographs and kinematically linked with engine. Suspension unit is made in form of cross-piece located between articulations at points of intersection of longer and upper levers of pantographs and connected with them over common axial line. At the top, said cross-piece is articulated with rod rigidly secured in dome framework. During operation of engine, pantographs are folded or extended. Flying vehicle performs translational motion due to deflection of dome by means of hydraulic cylinders mounted in suspension unit at ends of cross-piece and articulated with dome through rods. Oil lines of hydraulic cylinders controlled by pilot are located on longer levers of pantographs. Transversal and longitudinal stability of pantographs is achieved due to availability of stabilization unit located between articulations at points of intersection of longer and shorter levers of pantographs. According to second version, engine is used as vertical stabilization unit which is made in form of cylinder installed on engine mount with piston and upper and lower combustion chambers arranged inside it. Engine piston is connection with extension mechanism.

EFFECT: extended functional capabilities.
