  • Patent number: 6997413
    Abstract: The amphibious aircraft has two top mounted wings and an engine having a rear mounted propeller. The aircraft also has a tail having two wings mounted in a V-shaped fashion. Each of the wings has a pivotal tip mounted thereon. The aircraft also has a sponson on each side of the fuselage by way of horizontally mounted struts. The struts and thereby the sponsons are mounted to the aircraft in such a manner so that they are adjustable in their horizontal attitude. The pivotal wing tips at the top mounted wings control the yaw of the aircraft while the adjustable wing tips in the V section of the aircraft can control both the horizontal direction of the aircraft as well as the right or left direction. It all depends if both the wing tips are pivoted in the same direction or opposite to each other, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5242132
    Abstract: An amphibious aircraft capable of V-STOL operations, the aircraft comprised of a pair of buoyant, coterminus, and elongated body members having an axially converging and diverging profile, joined together at the forward end thereof by a forward fuselage having at least one cambered surface, the entire structure thereof functioning as a lifting body, the forward fuselage having a pair of wings rigidly attachable thereto, and at least one propulsion unit attachable thereto proximal to the aircraft's longitudinal centerline, whereby the transition between vertical and conventional flight modes may be accomplished, the aircraft further having a stabilizer for pitch and yaw control which are pivotally and hingedly attachable to the rear of said elongated body members.
