20090026309 | Aircraft - The invention relates to an aircraft having a first propulsion unit with an air inlet above the fuselage of the aircraft and a second propulsion unit with an air inlet below the fuselage of the aircraft, the fuselage of the aircraft having recesses for receiving the propulsion units which are arranged such that the first and the second propulsion unit are arranged above one another in the plane set by the longitudinal and vertical axis of the aircraft. The propulsion unit comprises an engine, a housing having an air inlet, devices for the releasable fastening of the propulsion unit to the fuselage of the aircraft as well as devices for establishing a releasable connection of electric supply and data lines as well as fuel lines between the propulsion unit and the fuselage of an aircraft. | 01-29-2009 |
20090127383 | Tubular shaped interstellar space craft - The invention relates to a plasma based aircraft possessing a magnetic field, and, a huge plasma vortex. Said craft is tubular in shape. Said craft has a vast array of capacitors. The craft has a proton accelerator, plasma guns, diversion devices. Said craft will approach the speed of light. Said craft obtains fuel direct from an atmosphere or a radiation produced atmosphere in space, at no cost. This craft can travel to a g k star for only the cost of construction of craft. This invention is comparable to the discovery of fire insofar as man's future is concerned, particularly in view of our climate change, and a recent near impact from an asteroid—which would have put us within an ice age. The craft has three on-board escape craft. The craft is capable of producing plasma vortices within an electromagnetic field approaching the speed of light. Said field is an inhomogeneous, diamagnetic, orbiting plasma field with a magnetohydrodynamic electrically conducting plasma current. Said craft possesses approximately seven uninsulated tungsten bands encircling craft. Said bands are comprised of tungsten wire wrapped to form cables. | 05-21-2009 |
20090294582 | Propulsion Unit for Lighter-Than-Air Aircraft - A lighter-than-air aircraft is propelled via a bending-rotating tail whip. Two actuating areas located on opposite sides in a rear area of a lifting gas body are shortened by activated actuators. A vertical plane of symmetry of the lifting gas body and thus, the lifting gas body itself, are pivoted in an area of bending zones about angles a and β. An activated state exists when the actuator performs work for propelling the aircraft. Propulsion can be provided by deformation of the lifting gas body. Changes in direction can also be effected by asymmetrical sequences of movements. | 12-03-2009 |
