| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20110180671 | DIFFERENTIAL VANE VEHICLE CONTROL A ducted fan air-vehicle capable of generating control moments. The ducted fan air-vehicle includes an air duct, a fan, a center body, a plurality of control vanes. The vanes are independently controlled and are deflected in the same direction but at different angles, t... | 07/28/2011 |
| 20100051754 | Aircraft An aircraft has a generally circular main body including an upper surface portion supported for rotation about a central passenger compartment to produce a gyroscopic effect on the aircraft. The rotatable upper surface portion includes viewable panes therein arranged to... | 03/04/2010 |
| 20090140102 | Ducted fan vehicles particularly useful as VTOL aircraft A vehicle, including a vehicle frame, a duct carried by the vehicle frame with the longitudinal axis of the duct perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle frame, a propeller rotatably mounted within the duct about the longitudinal axis of the duct to force a... | 06/04/2009 |
| 20090140103 | Vehicle with vertical lift An apparatus for producing vertical lift in a vehicle. In one embodiment, two sets of trans-flow fans discharge air through multi-directional vane assemblies that direct the discharged air outward and downward. Each one of the sets of fans is positioned on opposite side... | 06/04/2009 |
| 20090026283 | THRUST VECTORING SYSTEM AND METHOD A method and system for thrust vectoring a primary fluid flow from an exhaust nozzle of a jet engine that significantly increases the non-axial force able to be generated by a flight control surface associated with the nozzle. In one implementation the method involves p... | 01/29/2009 |
| 20080223979 | AERODYNAMIC LIFTING DEVICE AND AIRBORNE CRAFT An airborne craft is provided comprising an aerodynamic lifting device having a radial drum fan and a thrust vectoring shroud. The radial drum or vertical axis fan comprises a fan with a rotor, the rotor having a rotational axis and comprising a plurality of rotor blade... | 09/18/2008 |
| 20080149780 | Vertical lift vehicle An apparatus for producing vertical lift in a vehicle. In one embodiment, two sets of trans-flow fans discharge air through multi-directional vane assemblies that direct the discharged air outward and downward. Each one of the sets of fans is positioned on opposite side... | 06/26/2008 |
| 20060226282 | Deflection system for a gas stream in a nozzle Deflection system for a gas stream 11 in an exhaust nozzle 10 of a flying craft, comprising fixed structural housings 18,20 which extend perpendicularly to the gas stream 11 and which are fed with deflection gas through one of their ends exte... | 10/12/2006 |
| 20060027704 | Internal duct VTOL aircraft propulsion system This patent concerns a internal duct VTOL propulsion system. To establish balance in a hover lift is generated forward and aft in the aircraft center of gravity. Aft lift is developed by vectoring the aft flow of exhaust in the exhaust duct downward. Forward lift is dev... | 02/09/2006 |
| 20050072876 | Variably angled propulsion/steering system An aircraft equipped with peripherally configured directional thrust capability has an onboard primary power source producing compressed air, and at least two thrust producing modules. Each thrust producing module has a fuel source and receives compressed air from the p... | 04/07/2005 |
