Lift generating means for aircraft

摘要

The aircraft or flying vessel has a lifting body 1 which includes one (or more) discs 6 of soft iron and silicon. The rim of the disc is encircled by the windings 7 of an induction motor. Application of power to the motor causes the disc 6 to rotate about a central vertical axle 5 and generate a magnetic field which interacts with the Earth's magnetic field to generate lift by magnetic repulsion. <IMAGE>
