Patents by Inventor Massimo Lucchesini

Massimo Lucchesini has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9284046
    Abstract: An aircraft (10) with improved aerodynamic performances is adapted to keep the directional stability and a very good aerodynamic behavior at medium-high incidence. The aircraft (10) includes a fuselage (12) to which shaped wings (18, 20) are associated, and a nose (52). The aircraft (10) also includes a vortex control device (72) of the extension of the leading edge of the wing at the root (LERX), shaped in order to symmetrize the bursting of the vortices generated by such LERX with a medium-high incidence. Said aircraft comprises removable equipment with at least one dissipation device of incident radar waves, on at least one hot portion of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 7520470
    Abstract: An aircraft (10), in particular a trainer aircraft with improved aerodynamic performance, having a configuration able to keep a directional stability and a very good aerodynamic behaviour even at very high angles of attack, where, traditional configurations prove themselves inefficient. In particular, this configuration foresees a forebody (52) with variable section, optimised for high angle of attack flights, a LEX vortex control device (72) at least one diverterless air intake (46), and a wing profile (18, 20) optimised in order to reduce the buffet effects typical of low aspect ratio wings with thin profile and variable camber. The aircraft (10) presents, finally, staggered tails (44 and 38), to optimise the aerodynamic performance.
