| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7271713 | Digital automatic escape system A pilot seat ejection system for use in a number of environments, can be designated for automatic operation. A microprocessor, or other on-board computer, uses avionic sensors to sense an irreversible catastrophic or dangerous situation, thereby initiating automatic... | 09/18/2007 |
| 7270298 | Personal flying apparatus A personal flying apparatus has a substantially horizontal element having a lower surface adapted to acted on by a wind upwardly so as to produce a wind-generated lifting force, and an inflatable element connected with the substantially horizontal element and filled... | 09/18/2007 |
| 7178762 | Reinforcing material for parachutes and methods for reinforcing parachutes A parachute is formed using a non-woven composite material. The non-woven composite material is formed by fusing a plurality of mono-filament fibers between thin layers of plastic. The non-woven material may be used as reinforcing tapes or as parachute lines in conn... | 02/20/2007 |
| 7147184 | Aerodynamic fairing system for airship An aerodynamic fairing system for an airship having a substantially spherical balloon portion includes an inflatable fairing that is attachable to the balloon portion, and a fairing actuation mechanism that selectively inflates and deploys the fairing after lift-off... | 12/12/2006 |
| 6144899 | Recoverable airborne instrument platform The recoverable airborne instrument platform accurately determines its present position and uses this data to execute a predetermined flight plan and ultimately guide its descent to a predetermined landing site. This is accomplished by installing the inst... | 11/07/2000 |
| 5967459 | Balloon with controlled parachute The present invention relates to a floatable aircraft such as a parachute balloon.
