  • Patent number: 7258302
    Abstract: An aircraft designed with three wings located on either side of the fuselage. The forward wing has a downward angle with a curved top and bottom surface. The upper wing is located towards the rear of the aircraft and above the forward wing. The lower wing is located below the upper wing and slightly forward. It is also located to the rear and below of the forward wing. The outer ends of all three wings come into contact at one point. The forward wing uses the Coanda effect to increase the airflow across the top surface of the bottom wing. The aircraft can be designed so that it is large enough to carry people and/or cargo, or to be small enough to be flown as a toy aircraft. The like design can use any type of aircraft engine commonly used today. One embodiment of the aircraft has two turbines, shaft-coupled to a power source, located on either side of the forward end of the fuselage.

  • Patent number: 7147183
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved lift system for an aerial crane incorporating a wing, coanda and curved surface. The arrangement of the wing, coanda and curved surface use and induce airflow to create additional lift through an increase in airflow mass, density and velocity. A different configuration of the wing, coanda and curved surface can be used to propel a vehicle.
