MULTI-ELEMENT COMPOSITE AEROSPACE COMPLEX FOR VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING IN THE SEA LAUNCH SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/14 B64D5/00 

FIELD: space technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to rocket and space technology, in particular to the designs of reusable booster systems. A composite aerospace complex (CASC) with returnable first and second stages (RFS and RSS) is proposed, and the RSS has a delta-shaped carrier body and is docked in a V-shaped RFS body. The RFS has turbojet engines in the nacelles of the root parts of the first swept wing with frontal air intakes and power extraction to drive four main propellers (MP) mounted at an equal distance in terms of their axes of rotation from the center of mass at the ends of their rotary profiled rods. The rods deviate from the sides of the RFS body at an angle of 88° in the vertical plane of the consoles of its rear X-shaped wing when viewed from behind and at the rotation nodes installed in front of the center of mass. The MPs are used according to the pushing scheme for landing at the launch site in the RFS flight mode as a turbofan aircraft landing vertically on the tail.

EFFECT: increase in the share of the payload mass in the launch mass of the CASC is provided, a decrease in the height of the CASC on the launch table, the possibility of returning for considerable distances to the sea launch site with vertical landing on a small-sized platform.
