| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6863240 | Hovering body To achieve the required optional conformability and navigability of the hovering motion of the hovering body in a free liquid environment, the hovering body is equipped with a suitable created mechanism for optional control of direction and/or the position of the ho... | 03/08/2005 |
| 6572053 | Flying vehicle of inverse sustentation (FVIS) The Flying Vehicle of Inverse Sustentation (FVIS) is an air transport unit for passengers and cargo. The vehicle comprises a main flow generating unit to burn a mixture of fuel and air and produce a gas flow with an appropriate speed to achieve the force ... | 06/03/2003 |
| 6375117 | Flying vehicle and method A vertically ascending flying vehicle and method. The flying vehicle consists of a body, which may be in the shape of a saucer or an airfoil, and an engine located above the body. The engine generates thrust downward onto the top of the body. That thrust ... | 04/23/2002 |
| 5765776 | Omnidirectional and controllable wing using fluid ejection A vehicular lift wing having a Coanda edge perimeter, is provided with a zle slot formation from which fluid ejection is directed tangentially from the full Coanda edge perimeter during translation through an ambient fluid medium. Omnidirectional control... | 06/16/1998 |
| 5653404 | Disc-shaped submersible aircraft An aircraft of disc-shaped configuration provides the capability of vertical take-off and landing; straight horizontal flight; and three-dimensional maneuverability in the air by means of a plurality of counter-rotating lifting rotors assembled of fixed p... | 08/05/1997 |
| 5507453 | Gyro stabilized vectored thrust vertical takeoff or landing aircraft The thrust director assembly may include a thrust director cone with its apex oriented into the fan airstream and a larger thrust vectoring ring concentric with the director cone. The thrust director assembly axis is angularly displaceable relative to the... | 04/16/1996 |
| 5503351 | Circular wing aircraft A circular wing aircraft in the form of a helicopter comprising a fuselage and a circular wing assembly. A structure is for mounting the circular wing assembly above the fuselage in a stationary manner. An air impeller unit is rotatively carried within th... | 04/02/1996 |
| 5407150 | Thrust unit for VTOL aircraft A thrust unit for an aircraft having a lift unit for propelling the aircraft in upward flight. The lift unit includes a duct for directing air substantially downwardly, the duct being shaped so that air exhausting from its downstream end is in a stream ha... | 04/18/1995 |
| 5170963 | VTOL aircraft The present invention provides a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft vehicle in which a ducted fan with upwardly directed inlet discharges air generally horizontally across a segmented circular wing. Said wing segments are individually controllable in p... | 12/15/1992 |
| 5102066 | Vertical take-off and landing aircraft In a vertical take-off and landing craft, a pair of nested dome-shaped shells are spaced apart and rigidly interconnected by struts. The outer shell has a central opening formed in its top, and the shape of the shells is such that the space between the tw... | 04/07/1992 |
| 5054713 | Circular airplane The invention is a circular airplane with an oblately spheroidal body which derives lift from a wall or ribbon jet exhausting over its upper surface. The jet is produced by a mixed flow fan driven by an internal combustion or gas turbine engine within the... | 10/08/1991 |
| 4202518 | Air-borne support and lift mechanism adapted to aircraft An air lift mechanism has one or more rotating discs within wells in a top deck. Each disc has cambered convexities on its upper surface. A cylindrical wall of each well has operational ports.... | 05/13/1980 |
