  • TAIL-LESS UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20190092448
    Abstract: An aerial vehicle includes a fuselage situated at the center and a main wing body having a pair of half-wings extending on transversely opposite sides of the fuselage. Each half-wing includes an orientable horizontal surface or plane, which acts as an aerodynamic control, and a fixed winglet.

  • Aircraft configuration with improved aerodynamic performance
    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.
