Abstract: A rescue aircraft having a rigid body with gas-filled envelopes and propulsion devices located inside rotatable aerodynamic toroidal modules. A longitudinal through passage in the lower part of the aircraft connects a crew cabin, a cargo-and-passenger compartment, fuel tanks, and accessories. The aircraft has exit hatches, mooring devices, and a gangway with railings and a removable cart. The aircraft also has a cross passage with exits onto its wings and a vertical passage with a pulley and other devices for lowering and lifting people and cargo. The lower part of the aircraft and hollow wings are filled with a foamed plastic for buoyancy and strength.

Abstract: The invention relates to lighter-than-air vehicles. The inventive aircraft comprises a rigid body with carrier gas-containing shells and propulsers arranged inside aerodynamic modules which are embodied in the form of aerodynamically shaped toroidal bodies of revolution. A longitudinal through passage in embodied in the lower part of the body in such a way that it communicates a crew cabin, a cargo-and-passenger compartment, fuel tanks and accessories and is provided with exit hatches and devices for docking to external objects, an extensible stairway with fences and a demountable carriage. The aircraft also comprises a transversal passage with overwing exits and a vertical passage provided with a cable hoist and devices for lowering and lifting people and cargo. The lower part of the body and hollow wings are filled with a foamed plastic which is used for providing the aircraft with floatability and strength. The aim of the invention is to extend the list of technical means.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to aeronautical engineering and concerns specifically transport vehicles for transportation of liquid and loose cargoes. The invention provides an airborne vehicle capable of carrying a multiton cargo from a limited ground area. The object of the invention is accomplished due to the fact that in the airborne vehicle of the present invention the lifting aerodynamic airfoil system is made of two parts, that is, a stationary part in the form of a ring-shaped fuselage 1, consisting of aerodynamic members 2 and 3 curved spanwise, and a movable part in the form of lifting rotor units 6 arranged along the ring perimeter. A power unit of the vehicle comprises a gas-generator, propulsive units, ramjet ducts, and flywheel members interconnected through a reversible rotary-reciprocating engine-supercharger 22 and a fluid converter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to construction of aircraft engines and has particular reference to the development of novel airborne vehicles. The invention is aimed at providing novel airborne vehicles capable of long-range nonstop flights with a specified amount of cargo, as well as at solving a complex of problems involved in extending the functional capabilities of the existing airborne vehicles. The airborne vehicle comprises a fuselage 1 carrying a suspension unit 6 held thereto and consisting of additional fuel reservoirs 7, an additional power plant 8, a landing gear 4, and an additional landing gear 18 of the suspension unit 6 which can be held to the fuselage 1 either through a hinge joint 5 or with the aid of panels.
