VERTICAL CLIMB PROPULSOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64C29/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: proposed vertical climb propulsor comprises round housing accommodating reduction gearbox with its driven shaft running vertically in bearings. Aforesaid vertical shaft supports spaced apart plates that feature upper smooth surface. Their lower surfaces feature dead channels arranged along concentric circumferences in even number, each having its lengthwise axis located along direction of rotation and at an angle to the plane crossing the center of rotation. Aforesaid cylindrical housing top accommodates several identical-design inertia-propulsors representing several hollow rectangular-section rings attached vertically to the housing and, aligned, to each other. Lengthwise axes of the rings run perpendicular to the cylindrical housing axis. Note that lower halves of the rings are widened on both end face sides so that their cross section exceeds several times that of upper not-widened half-rings. Inner side of aforesaid widened half-rings accommodates pumps, one per each ring, with their common shaft supporting gear wheel engaging, via idler, the reduction gearbox drive gear. Inner chambers of the rings are filled with mercury or high-specific weight fluid.

EFFECT: increased lift.
