Flying vehicle having a lifting-body configuration

摘要

The subject-matter of the invention is a flying vehicle having a "lifting-body" configuration. This allows the use of dynamic and static lift if the enclosed volume is filled with helium or hot gas. The exhaust gas of the aircraft motor, for example, can be used as the hot gas. The above-mentioned configuration is intended to be implemented by means of a very light supporting structure consisting of CFC tubes and film stretched between them. The proposed flying vehicle offers enormous safety advantages (in addition to low production costs) over conventional (ultra-light) sport aircraft as a result of: - extremely short take off and slow flying characteristics, - maintenance of the flying capability and control ability even if one type of lift is lost, and - protection of the pilot against injuries in the event of a crash, as a result of the air-cushion effect. A car is adequate as transportation means, because of the dismantling capability.
