  • Patent number: 5873545
    Abstract: A combined flying machine comprises a fuselage (1) in the form of a central hick wing with a vertical open tunnel (2), in which there is mounted a lifting rotor (4). Said machine is also provided with outboard wings and a tail unit (8). The machine is equipped with a landing device on an air cushion (19) that surrounds an outlet from the tunnel. A power plant of said flying machine comprises two engine modules (13), disposed from two sides of the tunnel (2) and connected with the lifting rotor (4) and the propulsion propellers (12). The area of the tunnel cross-section in the plane of the lifting rotor rotation amounts to 0.3 to 0.8 of the area of the landing device air cushion, which ensures a safe landing of the flying machine on an unprepared landing site even with a failure of one of the engine modules.
