Abstract: An engine including at least one set of three cylinders. Two of the cylinders function as internal combustion cylinders and the remaining cylinder functions as an air compressor. The air is injected into the exhaust manifold of the combustion cylinders. The combustion products are fed to a steam generator, the steam being utilized to produce work in a steam engine or turbine. The supply water for the steam generator is in heat exchange relationship with the engine cooling liquid. The compressor intake air is in heat exchange relationship with the engine lubricating liquid.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to influence the behavior of the airflow near the wingtip, where the higher pressure air from below the wing swirls up over the end of the wing, to arrive at the lower pressure area above the wing. This process will be discouraged because of the high degree of drag it creates and the flow of air rearward will be encouraged. This flow should continue as smooth as possible to the trailing edge of the wing and up and out to the pencil point end of the appendants.

Abstract: An upper and lower member are joined together near the tip. They are hinged near the front and back on the top member. This allows the wings to be opened for high speed, when cruising, and to be closed for take off and landing at a low speed. The exact size and shape of the moveable sections will be dictated by the size of the wing and the distance between the upper and lower wings where they join the fuselage. When the wing reaches a certain speed the drag forces will become more demanding creating a faster movement through the air passages causing a suction at the front of the wings. The ram affect on the front and the suction affect in the back will accomplish two things. It will dissipate the drag that tries to build up at the trailing edge and eliminate the pile up of air at the leading edges of the wing. The air passageways between the wings, when in the open position, will have to be the same size all of the way through the passageways.
