FIELD: aeronautical engineering; construction of aircraft with flat air cushion fuselages.
SUBSTANCE: proposed aircraft has side walls for directing the air flow above fuselage plane by taking the air with the aid of turbo-jet engines. Mounted under flat fuselage along its side in lower part are air ducts which are square in section and are provided with vertical walls where throttle valves are fitted for directing the air flows towards each other, thus forming the air cushion creating the lift force.
EFFECT: possibility of creating lift force of aircraft with no wings; enhanced controllability of aircraft.
