REUSABLE MODULAR TRANSATMOSPHERIC VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/14 B64G1/22 

FIELD: aerospace engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering. The proposed apparatus includes a winged stage in the form of a monoplane (low-wing) of the "tailless" scheme. The load-bearing body module is a structural platform (SP) with a lodgement in its front part for installing a target cylindrical module with a streamlined nose on it. The rear part of this module rests against the transversely located aft part of the gearbox (with a propulsion system). The trapezoidal wing module has a support platform for removable attachment to the lower part of the gearbox and carries elements of a tricycle landing gear. On the transversely located rear part of the gearbox, a module is fixed with a two-keel one-piece swivel vertical tail, upper and lower balancing flaps and a brake parachute unit installed on it. Removable modules of cylindrical fuel tanks are located inside the lower and side parts of the gearbox.

EFFECT: expansion of operational capabilities due to the modular scheme of the apparatus and the interchangeability of modules of its main systems.
