AIRCRAFT MIXED-MODE AERORODYNAMIC AND SPACE FLIGHT AND METHOD FOR ITS PILOTING Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B64G1/14 B64D27/02 B64C3/10 

FIELD: aeronautics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relate to an aircraft with a mixed solution with aerodynamic and space flight and how it is flying. The aircraft includes a fuselage, wing, air-jet engines and rocket engines. The wing holds still, essentially straight and elongated in the lateral direction fuselage. Wingspan makes the length of the fuselage. Wing tanks and rocket fuel are located in the rear fuselage. In front of the fuselage, located cabin. The method of piloting an aircraft contains four phases of flight. The first stage of aerodynamic flight at subsonic speeds, corresponds to 0.5 M-O, 8 M, with the use of jet engines without air refueling. In the second stage of exit in outer space rocket engines are used after giving the command to change the tilt of the aircraft between the first stage and second stage. In the third stage of descent by planning mode to the fuselage, oriented substantially perpendicular to the trajectory. The fourth step is provided by aerodynamic flight and landing after bringing the aircraft into position on the merits in the direction of the trajectory between the third phase of flight and the fourth stage of the flight.

EFFECT: reduced fuel consumption.
