Abstract: The present embodiments and associated methods provide for a progressive 3-axis multi-variable propulsion vectoring aerial and spaceborne vehicle. One embodiment of the vehicle is comprised of top and side air intakes, a curved sphenoid air accumulator, a compressor section, a diffuser, a plurality of fuel burner cans, a turbine section, a gas plenum, top, side, and bottom exhaust ports, propellant burner cans, gas plenum iris, an onboard flight control computer, and top, side, and bottom exhaust port doors. Combustion gasses are produced which are directed by the gas plenum to the exhaust ports which provide thrust and lift to the vehicle. By selectively opening and closing the exhaust port doors, the vehicle may be made to rise, hover, and accelerate in any direction. Such an embodiment provides a vehicle that can directly ascend through the atmosphere into space.

Abstract: The present invention includes a device for enabling a pilot to maintain a conscious state at a high G-force. The device comprises a platform and seat radially movable about an axis. The device also comprises a mechanism for moving the platform in order to optimize the position of the pilot with respect to the G-force so that the pilot is conscious.
