This aircraft is designed to eliminate wings on an aircraft to create a VTOL aircraft like a helicopter but without the overhead propeller. The field of the invention concerns a new aircraft without wings. The U.S. patent classification is 244. References to specific problems I haven't been able to find any prior art.
The gas turbine engine is a type of air breathing jet engine that is widely used in aircraft propulsion. This is because the gas turbine engine combines all the power phases used in automobile engines in one continuous ignition. An automobile uses the power phases of collection, compression, explosion, and the waste exhaust exit. The explosion apparatus is like a ‘balloon’ with an ideal gas under high pressure and high temperature. Most of the contemptuous apparatus associated with the ‘balloon’ is designed to function as a means to cool the outside of the ‘balloon’ and to supply oxygen for fueling the explosion. This is a very high temperature ‘balloon’. In addition to the functions of a ‘balloon’ it must be able to create a huge controlled explosion. The combustion chamber must be very strong to resist the very high pressure and it must be high temperature resistant, and it must have access to continual fuel. In addition it must have a way of capping the horizontal pipes to have the aircraft get to the proper places. In this way accomplishing controlled maneuverability in the horizontal direction must be achieved. For an aircraft to provide these things without wings yet still carry on becomes almost impossible. It needs access to provide fuel for the explosion and air mass to be able to provide an air mass generator without using a dangerous fan. It must continually provide a controlled explosion. For horizontal positioning it requires all these things and they must be variable.
An ideal gas is one that follows the ideal gas laws. The equation is PV=nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, T is the temperature, and n is the number of moles of gas. (1 mole of gas has 6×1023 particles), or Avogadro's number, and R is called the gas constant. The French physicist Emil Chaperon in the 19th century, tells how the pressure, temperature, and volume are all related. Pressure increases if the volume is squeezed or the temperature is raised. Imagine a box with air inside. If you reduced the volume of the box by half, then the pressure would be doubled. If you heated the metal box to twice its temperature then its pressure would also double. In deriving the ideal gas law, Chaperon combined two earlier laws one by Robert Boyle and another by Jacques Charles and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac. Boyle had spotted links between pressure and volume, and Charles and Gay-Lussac between volume and temperature. Chaperon united the three quantities by thinking about a quantity of gas called a ‘mole’, a term describing a certain number of atoms or molecules, namely 6×1023 (6 followed by 23 zeroes) known as Avogadro's number. Although this sounds like a lot of atoms, it is roughly the number of atoms you would find in a graphite pencil. The mole is defined as the number of carbon-12 atoms in 12 grams of carbon. Alternatively, if you had Avogadro's number in grapefruits, they would take up to the entire volume of the Earth.
So an ideal gas is one that obeys the ideal gas laws. It does this because the atoms or molecules that make it up are very small compared with the distances between them so that when they bounce around they scatter off one another. Also, there are no extra forces between particles that could cause them to stick together, such as electrical charges. Nobile gases such as neon and xenon behave as ideal gases made up of individual atoms, rather than molecules. Symmetric light molecules like hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen behave almost like ideal gases, whereas heaver gas molecules such as butane are less likely to. The air issuing from this ‘balloon’ must issue so that the forces counter the controlled force at selected places for horizontal movement.
Most of the components of a gas turbine engine are to add compression to the air flow. That is what the huge fan does for a conventional jet passenger aircraft. A much better method is shown.
This Aircraft Without Wings eliminates the huge fan in the conventional aircraft and this allows a much smaller VOTL aircraft. By turning the gas turbine engine upward with the thrust downward the aircraft accomplishes VTOL flight and geodesic equipment controls the aircraft and is horizontally guided by the controllable tubes. In addition the new design eliminates the huge fans and allows a much better air mass separation. All of these things had to be available for the Aircraft Without Wings.
The VOTL aircraft is the first with to turn its gas turbine engine to point skyward and the thruster to point downward. The air mass is accurately accomplished by splitting it. One part continues through to the ‘core’, or the center of the engine, where it acts upon the engine components and the second part ‘bypasses’ the core of the engine and goes through a second pipe concentric with the first. The first air mass goes to the core of the engine and causes increased thrust. The second air mass is concentric with the first and of a much larger diameter. It produces thrust because it contains huge amounts of oxygen and ignites when it passes the thruster, under pressure. The cooler air from the larger air mass collector helps to quiet the engine as well as adding thrust to the engine. The action of this air mass adds 70% to the speed. The apparatus is also applicable to the conventional orientation of the gas turbine engine. The air mass apparatus can get air mass to a jet plane without the four huge fans. This is accomplished by removing the huge fans and controlling the air mass by using two parts of air separately.
On the right side of the drawing is the apparatus controlling the amount of air mass to provide power to the horizontal tubes. Air loaded with oxygen is configured to encircle the pipe to provide thrust that supplies 70% of the movement when ignited by the outgoing tube. The metal board sliding up/down to control the amount of air released to the tubes is activated by geodesic electronic control (not shown).
By combining the illustration on left side with the illustration on the right side we see how to combine them for each horizontal tube.
The right options to manufacture the device, making it the first aircraft which does not have wings and is supported entirely by the gas turbine engine in flight.
The air mass 1 is continually mixed with fuel at 5, and the combustion chamber continually ignites it. There are as many as twenty nozzles 5 which spray fuel into the combustion chamber airstream. The mixture of air and fuel catches fire in the combustion chamber 4 and this provides a high temperature, high-energy airflow. The fuel burns because copious oxygen is supplied by air mass collector 1. The compressed air is further compressed in the three tubes marked by identity 8 because of the expanding gases inside of the combustion chamber 4. The combustion chamber is often made of ceramic materials because it gets so hot. This material provides heat resistance for the chamber where the heat can reach 2700° F. The high-energy gas flow coming out of the chamber is used in conventional jet planes to turn the shaft on the compressor (not shown). Because the air mass apparatus is designed to supply a large quantity of air we will not use it because it is an energy user and we will skip the compressor. The power to run the shaft and spin the compressor takes energy so we will drop it. Also the gasses produced in the combustion chamber 4 is sometimes used to spins a turbine, but this too is an added draw on the power. So it will be dropped. The combustion chamber shaft that moves the huge fans at the front of the conventional jet aircraft is also dropped because of the drag of these fans.
The thruster 6 provides the thrust to propel the aircraft up/down. The thrust nozzle 7 directs the flow of thrust and provides minor guidance to the aircraft. The expansion of air produced by the combustion of huge amounts of incoming oxygen to the thruster provides 70% of the forward thrust speed.
The oxygen containing air is split into two parts, the same as in
On the right side the same air mass 2 is used to cause oxygen in the air to get to the concentric pipe 8 around the tube. The volume of air is controlled by the Up/Down ‘window’ 7 (shaded) and is activated by the geodesic electronics device (not shown). The metal door controls the volume of air in the pipe 8 that is concentric to the tube. The additional thrust is shown by 9. A gyro must be available to stabilize the plane.
This aircraft is designed to allow unmanned flight to any place on earth by simplified construction. This is accomplished by turning the gas turbine engine upward, a simple geodesic flight organizer, air mass cooling, and the massive amount of incoming oxygen for power. By this VTOL flight the aircraft is not exposed to finding a runway, anywhere. The conventional jet aircraft needs a long runway to go fast enough and to reach takeoff speed. A jet transport must travel 200 miles an hour before the lift is strong enough to raise the huge passenger aircraft. This airplane goes straight up from anywhere, quickly. It is only a pilotless small-sized box or barrel that goes anywhere you want it to go. A gyro keeps it balanced.
The unmanned aircraft could send medical equipment where needed. Also, fire-fighting equipment could be sent quickly. Anywhere a package delivery is required the box can deliver it. In addition lift is created by air rushing down the funnel-shaped surface allowing added lift because of the Bernoulli Principle and the Coanda Effect. The roof of the air mass controllers 10 provides protection from ice and snow. The impellor controllers 3, and 4 create further density if needed for the air mass generators. The initial air mass at startup is drawn by the vacuum created by the combustion chamber.
The claimed invention is the first aircraft flying on engine power and not on wings or propellers.
