New flight motion concept. It consistsof a decrease of the front pressure of helicoplanes to lower thanthe downstream separation zone pressure. So helicoplanes are pushed forward by atmospheric air instead of being dragged as conventional aircraft are. This decrease of front pressure, according tothe Magnus phenomenon, is effected by adding to the front air flow a rotational velocity. That is done by the external surface (8)of a horizontal mixed-flow blower (11). So the blower (11) provides vertical take-off, vertical landing and initial low speed horizontal motion by its blades, and by its external surface (8), there is provided a supersonic speed in horizontal motion. The blower is incorporated in a low drag semilens-shaped hull (1, 2), being uncovered only in a front segment. Helicoplanes can accomplish low level speed of 2, 5 MACH, a ceiling range which is practically unlimited, glide capability, manoeuverability acceleration 8g, and time to ceiling 3 min. |
