  • Patent number: 11472545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the propulsion system and aircraft with vertical take-off and landing—VTOL that uses aerodynamic phenomena of thrust amplification, including at zero speed, to reduce the thrust/weight ratio. According to the invention, an individual aircraft 1, with vertical take-off and landing, uses a fuselage 2 in the form of a frame 3 that merges two propulsion system, 4 and 5 one in the front and the other in the rear, of the bi-planar type, located at the ends of the fuselage 2. The propulsion system 4 uses two wings 6 and 7, which are superimposed, parallel and distanced by a certain distance D. The rear wing 7 is fixed perpendicularly to the frame 3 in its median area, so that an angle ? between 25° and 80° is formed with the horizontal plane in static position. The front wing 6 and the rear wing 7 are secured at their ends by two jet limiters 8. Similarly the rear propulsion system 5 uses two wings 8 and 10.

  • Publication number: 20210362855
    Abstract: The invention refers to a VTOL aircraft of the type that uses certain aerodynamic phenomena to increase the lifting force and to reduce the thrust/weight ratio. An aircraft 1 uses a propulsion system 2 consisting of four thrust producing elements, two in front 3 and two in rear 4. Each front thrust producing element 3 contains at least one front rotor 5 operated by at least one front electric motor, fixed on a fuselage 10. Each rear thrust producing element 4 contains at least one rear rotor 7 driven by at least a rear electric motor 8, fixed on the fuselage 10. On the fuselage 10 is attached symmetrically a front wing 12. On the fuselage 10 is attached symmetrically a rear wing 13. The wing 12 and 13 are used also in static conditions respectively in take-off and landing.
