A vertical-lift and horizontal flight aircraft, which can be operated in a horizontal flight mode, as soon as ground clearance is made. And, because of its unique design is very stable in flight, is very light, has a low drag resistance factor and is versatile in the configurations that can be made
A vertical-lift and horizontal flight aircraft, which can be operated in a horizontal flight mode, as soon as ground clearance is made. And, because of its unique design is very stable in flight, is very light, has a low drag resistance factor and is versatile in the configurations that can be made from a basic platform. The aircraft is primarily disk shaped with the aircraft body in the center surrounded by a lift assembly housing, an outer body lift surface and a propulsion thrust unit mounted aft of the central body compartment. The lift assembly housing is parallel with the aircraft body and contains an inner drive ring, with attached lift blades, facing inward toward the body compartment and an outer drive ring, with attached lift blades, facing outward toward the outer body lift surface. Electromagnetic motors power each drive ring. The inner and outer lift assemblies are composed of a drive ring; lift blades, a drive ring guide-way and electromagnetic motors. The inner and outer drive rings counter-rotate to alleviate any possible torque effect. Each drive ring is controlled independently, and synchronized to achieve positive directional control. As the drive rings rotate, the attached lift blades move through the air to create lift. The pitch of the lift blades can be fixed or variable. Once the aircraft is airborne and the forward motion is attained, air moving over the outer body lift surface provides the lift for horizontal flight. An electric control mechanism will synchronize the speed of the two counter-rotating lift assembly drive rings for flight control purposes. This will allow the body to rotate, or maintain a steady course. Flight directional flaps will control the direction of the aircraft.
