  • Publication number: 20240002034
    Abstract: A ducted wing is configured to be connected to an aircraft. The ducted wing includes an array of integrated jetfoils. Each jetfoil includes a propulsor fan, an upper wing portion, and a lower wing portion that extends past an end of the upper wing portion. Each jetfoil includes a duct formed between the upper wing portion and the lower wing portion where the propulsor is within the duct. Furthermore, each jetfoil may have one or more flaps at the leading edge or the trailing edge of the jetfoil. The jetfoil may have flaps that control either the inlet area or the outlet area of the propulsor fan as well as flaps that control whether the aircraft can operate in one of a plurality of different takeoff modes.
