Abstract: Closed wing aircraft design and configuration with three wings on either side of the fuselage wherein at least one closed frame is established between the 1st wing and the 2nd wing, by using at least one bracing entity. A separate closed frame is established between the 2nd wing and the 3rd wing, by using at least one bracing entity. Each of said closed frames defines its own aerodynamic channel. The framework is strong and stiff, the mutually supported parts level out the stress. The fuselage is lifted in three points. The Aspect Ratio is high and the wingspan is relatively short but there are embodiments wherein the 3rd wing has an extended folding tip section.

Abstract: Improved closed wing aircraft design and configuration with three wings on either side of the fuselage wherein at least one closed frame is established between the 1st wing (65) and the 2nd wing (67), by using at least one bracing entity. A separate closed frame is established between the 2nd wing (67) and the 3rd wing (71), by using at least one bracing entity. Each of said closed frames defines its own aerodynamic channel. The framework is strong and stiff, the mutually supported parts level out the stress, the load per wing is low. The fuselage is lifted in three points. It is possible to build a very large aircraft of composite materials. The Aspect Ratio is high and the wingspan is relatively short but there are embodiments wherein the 3rd wing has an extended folding tip section.

Abstract: Aircraft configuration by applying the following method steps for improving the conventional box wing aircraft concept: dividing both the backward swept front and the forward swept rear wings into root and tip sections, wherein the tip sections (34) of the front wings are more backward swept than the root sections (37), and the tip sections (35) of the rear wings are more forward swept than the root sections (38). Preferred embodiments comprise moving the front wing to the nose and the rear wing towards the rear end of a long fuselage; adding a middle wing and thereby decreasing the wingspan by one third; dividing the middle wing into a backward swept root section (28) and two tip sections (29,30), one forward and another backward swept. The four wingtips on each side are interconnected by a wingtip fence (26), obtaining seven closed frame structures, as well as seven aerodynamic channels for the stream flow.
