Publication number: 20200331591Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a drag recovery scheme. In various examples, a recovery engine is placed within a vortex flow of air caused by the impingement of air upon a nacelle of a main engine. The propeller of the recovery engine can use the vortex flow of air to provide additional thrust the aircraft, thus reducing the load on the main engines or providing an increased velocity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: October 22, 2020Applicant: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20200283122Abstract: Technologies for providing noise shielding are described herein. In some examples, noise shields are installed proximate to one or more of the main engines of the aircraft. The noise shields can be extended during terminal operations and retracted during flight operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventor: Mark A.

Publication number: 20200207464Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive pitch angle for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Jennifer Whitlock, Joshua B. Long, Cristina Donastorg, Brendan Kennelly, Mark A. Page

Publication number: 20200207476Abstract: Technologies for providing emergency egress routes for a blended wing body aircraft are described herein. In some examples, the emergency egress routes are through a side cabin bulkhead and aft one or more cargo holds. In some examples, the blended wing body aircraft has wings that are high geometry wings. In these examples, the emergency egress routes do not penetrate an aft spar, reducing weight and increasing the integrity of the aircraft.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Jennifer Whitlock, Brendan Kennelly, Mark A.

Publication number: 20200207460Abstract: Technologies for providing blended wing body aircraft control surfaces are described herein. In some examples, one or more of the control surfaces have angular configurations that reduce the formation of air vortexes when in upward or downward configurations, thereby reducing the drag on the aircraft when the control surfaces are being used.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 10150558Abstract: Systems and methods for mechanically rotating an aircraft about its center-of-gravity (CG) are disclosed. The system can enable the rear, or main, landing gear to squat, while the nose landing gear raises to generate a positive angle of attack for the aircraft for takeoff or landing. The system can also enable the nose gear and main gear to return to a relatively level fuselage attitude for ground operations. The system can include one or more hydraulically linked hydraulic cylinders to control the overall height of the nose gear and the main gear. Because the hydraulic cylinders are linked, a change on the length of the nose cylinder generates a proportional, and opposite, change in the length of the main cylinder, and vice-versa. A method and control system for monitoring and controlling the relative positions of the nose gear and main gear is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: DZYNE Technologies IncorporatedInventor: Mark A.
