  • Patent number: 8262015
    Abstract: A flying object capable of being launched in air is detachably mounted on a wing body of a launching apparatus. The launching apparatus is towed by an aircraft through a cable so as to be run and taken off. After raising the launching apparatus to a launching height of the flying object by the aircraft, the flying object is released from the wing body in air and then the flying object is ignited and launched in air in a launching system. The system for launching in air can be developed without newly developing a platform as a mother ship so that a research cost can be remarkably reduced. In the case that a small artificial satellite is installed in a flying object, it is possible to develop an artificial satellite smoothly and quickly applicable to security matters and disaster observation.

  • Patent number: 5276447
    Abstract: Radar echo reduction in an aircraft and the like provides a radar reflective rear edge that is independent of the configuration of a main wing or the like. In a particular object required to suppress radar echoes such as, for example, an aircraft, a ship such as a warship, a special vehicle, a bridge or the like, the radar echo reduction constituent is a conductive thin layer equipped on an outer surface of the object and having its terminal rear edge oriented obliquely to the expected direction of an incoming radar wave.
