Abstract: A first embodiment includes a circuit based aerial vehicle including an enclosed air duct circuit with a plurality of fans within respective fan tunnels and a plurality of rotating archway assemblies. The rotating archway assemblies may include respective cylinder casings with medial archways, actuating collars at opposing ends of the cylinder casing, and a rotational cylinder rotatable along its longitudinal axis. The actuating collars may be structured to spin their respective cylinder casings along the cylinder casing longitudinal axes thereby orienting the rotational cylinders in different positions along their medial axes. A second embodiment includes rounded cylinder assemblies with respective bulbous cylinder casings including medial actuating collars that rotate rather than the entire cylinder casing.

Abstract: A first embodiment includes a circuit based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including at least one enclosed air duct vertical z-force circuit, at least one enclosed air duct lateral y-force circuit, and at least one enclosed air duct longitudinal x-force circuit whereby each circuit includes a plurality of fans within respective fan tunnels and a plurality of rotational cylinders within archways. The UAV utilizes a magnus effect at strategic points along each respective circuit to apply navigational force thereon. A second embodiment includes a circuit based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a first and second air duct circuit joined at a medial trunk. Each circuit includes a plurality of fans within respective fan tunnels and a plurality of rotational cylinders within archways. The second embodiment also utilizes the magnus effect at strategic points along each respective circuit to apply navigational force thereon.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are related to a Y-shaped airliner including an elongate main fuselage bifurcated into two outwardly angled fuselage extensions defined as a first fuselage extension and a second fuselage extension. The airliner includes a NACA inlet, a medial fan, a pair of forward canard wings, and a pair of side wings each including at least one engine. The medial fan is positioned between the first fuselage extension and the second fuselage extension. The NACA inlet is positioned on the main fuselage rear skin and is structured to feed airflow into the medial fan.

Abstract: Aircraft that have fuselages including a series of frames spaced apart according to a frame pitch. The series of frames are covered by an aircraft skin to define an interior volume of the aircraft. The interior volume contains a series of rows of seats separated according to a seat pitch. The seat pitch may be indexed to the frame pitch such that seats are located between adjacent ones of the series of frames to permit a reduced-perimeter aircraft fuselage with substantially equal passenger comfort metrics. In some embodiments, in addition, a series of windows are located adjacent outboard seats of the series of rows of seats to permit ergonomically appropriate viewing through the series of windows by passengers seated in the outboard seats.
