  • Patent number: 7234667
    Abstract: This invention relates to the design of a Modular Aerospace Plane (MAP) comprising a forward fuselage section, a main wing section, a tail section and wing attachments. Various sections can be integrated to offer a variety of aircraft characteristics, performance and missions. This modular design offers a new method of aircraft fabrication, maintenance, repair and ground handling to reduce costs for the manufacturers, owners and operators.

  • Patent number: 6776373
    Abstract: An Aircraft Escape (AEC) is designed for manned atmospheric or space vehicles having a fly away capability at any time during the flight of the parent aircraft. The AEC houses the crew, passengers, life support systems, aircraft flight controls, propulsion, navigation instruments, communications equipment, and deceleration devices to permit safe landing of the escape cabin on land or water. A rocket or mechanical device provides the means to actively separate the escape cabin from the parent aircraft during an emergency.
