AEROSPACE CRAFT WITH NUCLEAR PROPULSOR AND AEROSPACE FLIGHTS PERFORMED THEREBY Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B64D27/22 B64G1/40 B64C39/12 F25J3/04 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: claimed set can be used for atmosphere and space flights, at takeoff and retrieval. Aerospace craft features the canard-tail-less configuration. Nose airfoils and wings compose with the fuselage the delta-like airfoil. Nuclear rocket propeller comprises the heat exchange chamber coupled with the nuclear reactor via the radiation shielding. Atmosphere liquefied by the onboard liquefaction plants is used (partially) as the working fluid. Feeding and cooling onboard turboplants, turboelectric generators and the control jet engines are connected to the heat exchange chamber to operated directly at the cruising working fluid. With cruising nozzle cutoff the claimed nuclear propulsor incorporates the special-design shutoff device. In long-term aerospace flights the craft can be periodically refuelled with liquefied atmospheric medium.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, stability and controllability.
