  • Patent number: 7080809
    Abstract: The invention, presents a new concept of spacecraft vehicle design and method of utilization in space flight operations. The system examines the major elements of launch, to orbit flight and return format. The system relies heavily on current space flight technology. Two spacecraft vehicles are utilized in conjunction to achieve Earth orbit. The vehicles are launched simultaneously in a joined configuration. Reaching approximately half distance to orbit, the vehicles separate with the booster vehicle returning to land and the transport vehicle continuing to Earth orbit. Terminating orbit space flight, the transport vehicle reenters the atmosphere returning to land. The details of spacecraft construction and space flight operations are complex and will not be discussed.

  • Publication number: 20020134888
    Abstract: The invention lies in the field of fluid dynamics. In particular, the invention pertains to aircraft airfoils and wing designs. The variable airfoil wing is a simple concept which divides an aircraft wing into a forward segment and a rearward segment. The wing forward segment is fixed and the wing rearward segment is movable. Using a symmetrical airfoil design as the base wing shape, the rearward segment is rotated downward to increase the wing camber. When utilized in accordance with specific limitations, the wing design offers a broad range of aerodynamic capabilities.
