VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING AMPHIBIAN AEROPLANE

摘要

FIELD: aircraft manufacture. SUBSTANCE: arranged longitudinally above fuselage in node and tail sections are two hollow streamlined superstructures in which rotor reduction gears of cycloidal propellers are rotatably built on either side; each propeller creates independently lifting and tractive forces varying in magnitude. Aeroplane is provided with folding wings for alighting on water; wings are provided with two side rotatively extensible floats. Engines are interconnected by means of longitudinal shaft provided with normally open couplings owing to which aircraft may continue its flight with one engine at reduced speed. EFFECT: self-balancing of aircraft in pitch and roll. 4 cl, 3 dwg
