FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B64G1/26 B64G1/40 

FIELD: aero-space engineering; flights in atmosphere and space.

SUBSTANCE: proposed flying vehicle has casing, gas shock absorber of combustible fuel with control unit, cylinder and piston, two exhaust pipes and two resilient protective stops for piston. Piston is engageable with shock absorber and performs reciprocating motion inside cylinder. Gas shock absorber is connected with control unit for metered delivery of fuel. Cylindrical strut mounted inside cylinder is rigidly connected with its rear wall and with two protective stops. Piston is provided with projection located inside cylindrical strut. Bent exhaust pipes are also located in this strut. Provision is made for mechanical shock absorber which is connected with casing and is located inside cylinder in front of piston and exhaust nozzle mounted behind gas shock absorber and rigidly connected with rear wall of cylinder. Gas shock absorber and exhaust nozzle perform function of jet engine (which was mounted on piston in previous construction), therefore there is no need in jet engine.

EFFECT: simplified construction; reduced mass of flying vehicle.
