LOW-THRUST MODULAR ENGINE UNIT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B64G1/24 B64G1/40 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: this unit comprises load-bearing frames with spherical fuel tanks secured thereat and inclined to unit axis and deformable metal webs to divide said frames to liquid and gas chambers. Besides, it includes compressed gas tanks, liquid-propellant jets of orientation and stabilisation, correct-and-decelerate jet, ACS units, pipelines interconnecting the elements of systems secured at load-bearing frames. This unit is composed of three self-contained modules, i.e. fuel tanks module, module of supercharging and correction deceleration jet system module and orientation and stabilisation engines module. First and second modules are connected by pneumatic lines and fluid lines incorporating breakage membranes and split joints.

EFFECT: enhanced operating performances, higher reliability and safety.
