  • Patent number: 5383810
    Abstract: A model spaceship having a tubular propulsion duct (1) with fan (25) to which a circular wing (2) is attached at a top-forward position and pod wings (3,4) positioned at each opposite top-side position. The circular wing (2) is supported by a forward strut (8) extended forwardly and upwardly from a top-front portion of the propulsion duct (1). Each pod wing (3,4) is supported by side struts (5,6) extended sidewardly and upwardly from an intermediate portion of the propulsion duct (1). The pod wings (3,4) are joined by a horizontal wing (7) that provides lift and horizontal stabilization. Contour of the circular wing (2), the pod wings (3,4), the side struts (5,6) and the horizontal wing (7) all provide lift. Lateral attitude control is provided by ailerons (15) on the pod wings (3,4). An elevator flap (18) for horizontal attitude control is positioned on an aft edge of the horizontal stabilizer wing (7). A model-airplane motor (24) provides rotation of the duct fan (25) for propulsion.
