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

FIELD: aero-space engineering; flights in atmosphere and in 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 safety stops for piston which is engageable with shock absorber and performs reciprocating motion inside cylinder. Gas shock absorber is communicated with control unit for metered delivery of fuel to shock absorber. Mounted inside cylinder is cylindrical strut rigidly connected with rear wall of cylinder and with two said safety stops. Piston is provided with projection inside strut and additional shock absorber of fuel being ignited is provided inside strut behind piston projection. Control unit may be used for control of two shock absorbers due to alternating metered delivery of fuel. Provision is also made for two bent exhaust pipes rigidly connected with cylindrical strut, exhaust nozzle behind gas shock absorber which is rigidly connected with rear wall of cylinder and two booster jet engines rigidly connected with casing. Additional gas shock absorber and exhaust nozzle perform functions of jet engine (which was earlier mounted on piston) and this engine may be excluded.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability and durability; reduced mass of flying vehicle.
