  • Hamilton H.N2 laminar flow diskette wing
    Patent number: 8382040
    Abstract: A wing assembly has a wing and one or more no-bias laminar flow oval diskettes that are fixed on a support structure along the C/L (center of lift) of an airfoil, of an aircraft wing. The benefit of an oval diskette with laminar flow is that it has no speed limitations and it allows an aircraft to clime at a speed that matches its Ground Effect Lift speed which is a 25% performance increase and a 40% reduction in vortex drag with a increase stability that eliminates inertia coupling of high-speed airfoils.

  • VTOL aircraft with forward-swept fixed wing
    Patent number: 7735774
    Abstract: A fixed-wing VTOL aircraft features a forward-swept wing configuration coupled with a tripod arrangement of the engines (two forward, one rear), a forward-swept empennage or tail assembly, and a forward canard. The engines and wings/empennage are located relative to each other such that the engine outlet nozzles, which pivot downwardly to provide lift-off thrust, are minimally covered by the wings/empennage, if at all. The wings and empennage may include lifting fans to supplement lift and provide pitch and/or roll control.
